Also...I was talking to a member of the rx7clu of houston and he was talking about some birtish car that was in the Gumball rally with him, which he claims can beat the McLarens top speed. It was British I think but cant remember the damn name of it






Was it the TVR speed 6 or 12? Those are the only two cars that I can think of that might stand a chance.

to be honest, i didn't think that the Enzo was going to have the balls, but have you guys read the July Road & Track? they have the Enzo beating out the "king" McLaren F1 in 0-60 (3.3), 1/4 mile (11.1), skidpad (1.01g) AND slalom (73.0)

not sure if they're british, but the veyron and the konnigseig-(sp) both claim to be able to beat the McLaren, but have not proven it on a track! was the car he talking about an actual production vehicle because McLaren claims fastest production vehicle not fastest vehicle.

i alwasy thought top speed was kind of a useless measure since you are never going to actually go that fast... and if you are then the odds are you'll never be able to afford a car that will take you that fast https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Ever heard of John Carmack?



He owns a Ferrari GT(O) can't remember and I'm not a Ferrari aficionado...he rebuilt the engine, now it's an aluminum twin-turbo V12. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif



Anyways, he's the creator of all things cool: Doom and Quake.
