Same here as well. I've heard good things about this car and I want to see it stretch its legs.Quote:

No. The Ferrari Enzo and one of the S7s took care of those. I even think the newest GT-40 took one of them out.
If you want to talk about speed records Hitler had several cars built that did over 300 mph when the Autobahn was completed. That was back in the 40's and way before the F1's , or any of the cars we're talking about, time.
Anyway, I don't know but Chrysler has very high hopes for their ME four-twelve. They say the top speed is "at least" 248 mph and are sure it'll blow the world speed and acceleration record out of the water.

try and correct me if you can, but the sledgehammer was built by callaway, not lingenfelter

If I recall correctly, I think Mr. Lingenfelter was apart of the engineering team that developed the Sledgehammer. Still, it was a Callaway.
Anyways what about the 4-12? I've heard rumors that it may not even reach production?

Re: Fastest Car in the world?
i havent heard much from it lately. for some reason i doubt it will be made. speaking of the 4-12 whats up with the buggati thats suppose to beat the 241mph the vyron(or however you spell it) the reason i dont like the chrysler is cause if you ask me, they just basically copied the buggati quad turbo's W16 engine. i dunno, but question, what does the koenigsegg run in the 1320?

I would doubt that Chrysler had copied the Venyron. The 4-12 has a V12 quad turbo, so I don't really see any relation to engine, and I'm sure everything else would be legit to.
Here's a link to the CCR/8.
http://www.koenigsegg.se/thecars/index.asp?submenu=4
It says 9 seconds, but it also states it can run 395kmh (which is hasn't), so I would say it would depend on how its launched (my guess: low/mid 9's......still blistering fast!!).

Fastest car
Kurtdg.... go back to the website and read it again. The one car broke the OFFICIAL speed record at 388kph. However if ya read it some more, the other model goes even faster 390+kph. The track they were running on would not sustain a higher speed. (You can only go so fast around a corner. Let's take these cars out to the Bonneyville salt flats and let them go; strait-line full out and see who takes it. I am a Chev-man big time but I'd love the Viper to kick on them all. ..... and yes even that Corvette (can't stand 'em LOL) .
