Post by: lovebus (jack) on February 18, 2010, 07:14:57 pm: You have to guess Bob.

No, it's faster, has more horse power and costs more then the SSC.

The SSC Aero was the fastest in the world at 267 mph

The Barabus TKR just unthroned it at 270 mph so if that is the car you are thinking of the show had its data a bit wrong

Post by: lovebus (jack) on February 18, 2010, 08:53:14 pm: I think the car I'm talking about can do 274mph but they limit it to 253mph for production model for safety and if I recall it has 1000HP

damn! my next guess was a "Bradley GT"! LAUGH@ LAUGH@ LAUGH@

I thought the Mc Laren was the fastest production car but after checking here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1)

Guess not. It is the fastest carbuerated car.. amazing stuff.

Now that was funny. These cars have been round for a couple years..for
$1.2 mil it should be able to beat a jet fighter in a race..which it did. Saw that on TOP GEAR.

Post by: Baha (Shawn) on February 19, 2010, 08:33:14 am: You have to ask yourself... When they were sitting at the design table did they say something like...
I've just designed an amazing car. Now how do I shoe-horn the 1930's chitty traditional grille on to it?

Like to see that one catch a sharp turn.....splat!
looks like it weighs a ton.

Now if you really want a fast bike check out Jay Lenos 'jet bike'. Hes got a motorcycle with a jet engine. Only problem is the jet exhaust is around 1200 degrees, would do a nice number on the front bumper of those "tail gating" SUVs!

Post by: Baha (Shawn) on February 27, 2010, 10:46:51 pm: Cool bike but you cant drive it in traffic. Turbine lag takes too long to spool up. But you can go 250 MPH when you're not in traffic!
