I have no reason to doubt the HP to weight ratio to achieve those times, but I seriously doubt it can actually do 0-60 in under 2 seconds. It just isn't possible in a street car... there is no way to hook up that well. Those are paper numbers IMO.

If it actually has run that 0-60 time, it was with slicks and a real sticky drag strip.

Oh, and I don't consider these $xxx,xxx carbon fiber race-cars-made-for-the-street to be true production cars. They are race cars with turn signals and no roll cage. :027:

Here is a nice stock looking car that does 0-60 in 2 seconds. Yes I am sure it was on slicks but a daily driver none the less. This car was in Car and Drivers (I believe?) Super Tuner Shootout a couple years ago.

Those Lingenfelter cars are awesome. That's a good example of a "real car" and not a purebred race car.

When you get over like 500HP traction is a huge factor in 0-60 and 1/4mile.

Just like cruisin in my cousin's 500hp 74 Nova: mucho wheelspin :013: :005:

Street tires can't put the massive amount of power to the ground. I have noticed a wide range of performance #'s from one magazine's test to another.

They should put slicks on all these cars (or run a prepped sticky track) so traction is not an issue, and see what they can really do.. just put an asterisk next to the #'s so we know it's with slicks.

Maybe that's what the 1.75 seconds was.

The barabus is 270mph. The new veyron is 272mph. (both claimed)

I think buggatti made the new veyron to compete with the barabus. I still think buggatti could make the veyron faster still. 8L(?) W16 kicking out 1200BHP, it could (race tuned, F1 style) hit at least 1800.

Mike - The Fastest car right now 'officially' is the Koenigsegg ccr at 241.1 (or very close). Veyron that's out just now, would hammer it in a straight line; the ccr doesnt have great acceleration apparently.
