Worlds Fastest Production Car

[suprageezer]

Not a Ferrari, Not a Porsche, Not a Lamborghini, Not a Mercedes, Not a BMW, Not a Cobra. It's a Dodge Charger Daytona 237.373 that is damn fast. I wonder if there are any MK4's out there that could challenge that record someday.

"tallest geared" not fastest.

obviously the mk4 couldn't compete with it or it would be up there... it's production cars right? they've already produced all they are going to...

It aint the tallest geared it's the World's Fastest Production Car. Check out the site for the Bonneville Salt Flats. I think a Supra could compete since I see the world record holder runs a 572 inch hemi which isnt stock so why couldnt a Supra with 1200hp do it?

now I know there was a faster car that hit the market in the last 6 months stock off the floor 1001HP I think top speed was rated at 257 mph somethiung like that. I wanna say its a bugati but I cant remember.

Yes your right it was a Bugatti, on the cover of Car and Driver?

those salt flat land speed records are dumber than drag racing.

In a RHD :stickpoke

I believe you guys are talking about the Bugatti Veyron. 4 turbos=lots of power. It's ugly, though.

I'm more impressed by acceleration than top speed. The Nismo Skyline R34 GT-R Z Tune is absolutely insane and cheap as hell ($150K+) for what it is and is capable of.

"Worlds fastest production car" to me would imply a standard car as it rolls off the line that Daytona is far from that.

 

[NATAN666]

HOLY crap IJ i was just about to make a post that had nearly the same wording as you about the rolling off the line, but i just decided not to... anyways.. ya. production car == stock

Doesn't the McClaren hit 250's stock?

 

[SP 7M]

I've seen that JUN Supra before and it is indeed quite impressive but what strikes me as odd is that it's got two T-78s and is making what one source says is 1200ps and another says is [capable of] 1300HP. Of course this record wasn't set yesterday, but there are a few turbos out there that I'm sure could equal if not better the output of the dual 78s as a single setup.

Close, its official top speed is 240.1mph, as reported by the company, I haven't read about anybody that actually hitting that, but that doesn’t mean it can't.

Also, only 100 of them were ever produced, hardly enough to qualify as a production model.

I dunno much about the car, but didn't the 1989 Corvette Sledgehammer (SP) have an almost 250mph Record?

Probably has to do with efficiency and temperature. Dual 78s can provide the up to 50psi of boost alot cooler than a single. Those top speed runs last alot longer than a normal drag race so keeping the heat down is really important to engine survival. Just my guess.

Yeah, it was a Callaway car. It was actually closer to 255mph, but it was a one off car. There are probably all sorts of crazy rules and loopholes for qualifying as a production vehicle.

the fastest truck is a dodge dakota with a cummins diesel in it, not sure what that has to do with this tho

About as much as any modified car has to do with "Production car top speeds"

Car and Driver said they couldnt get it out of the 220's. Not that it is slow or anything.
