World's Fastest Car

FR500 · Aug 02, 2003, 9:48 PM

Everyone knows the king of cars is the Maclaren F1, even though is not the fastest anymore it's still one of the best, anyway, when i was researching for the Koeniseg CC i found out the MClaren F1 only pulls 0.86G on the skidpad, thats about the same as the BMW X5 4.6is and less than the Mercury Marauder, but still, afaik the McLaren F1 was considered the fastest car in the world, but the SVT focus, as an example beats the slalom 5km/h faster than this $1.000.000 car, so, was it meant to be an straight line performer? i guessed it was a track car, maybe the info is wrong

McLaren F1 LM · Aug 02, 2003, 10:17 PM

i know that the bugatti veryon is faster than the McLaren f1 lm but is there a faster car than the bugatti veryon

By "fastest production car" they were most likely refering to either the acceleration (0-60 or 1/4 mile) or the top speed.

In a straight line, the fastest car is the Lingenfelter Corvette. Dont argue with me it just is! Next, I think the McLaren F1 is the best at EVERYTHING else, I highly doubt the SVT Focus beat it at anything, but who knows. I dont know how the Veyron does with corners and stuff, but 1001 horsepower is just cool to say

The Lingenfelter is quickest, yes, right, but not on the street, you can just go out and make a 1.9 0-60 and 9.2 quarter with the lingenflter, you really need skill and tires, also a decent pavement, most likely you wont find that conditions, anyway, back on to the topic, the McLaren F1 pulls only 0.86g in the corners and makes 103 km/h in an slalom (according to sites), that is pretty mediocre, some SUVs can beat that, but i saw track tests of the F1, and it has great roadholding abilities, i guess the sites are wrong, i dont think it's tire technology since the F50 in the same time made 1.03g and 115km/h slaloms

When they talk about production cars, does that mean factory o factory tuned? Lingenfelter is merely an in house tuner, so is that techincally counted by the experts?

I wonder how fast the new Ford GT is going to be able to go...

Oh, I was also wondering if theres a landspeed record for a car WITHOUT freaking jets on it. I'd think there would be a record for that in some book or on some website...
