Full Version: Fastest Street Legal Car In Europe Is.... A Trans Am

I like the wheels on it.

Damn, 252mph, now thats some fast.
Theres not much Trans Am left in that beast.
I wonder why they choose that body. Maybe it has something aerodynamically they were looking for.

Gale banks used a T/A as their land speed record car back in the 80's and early 90's. Theres gotta be somethign decent working there. They are pretty aerodynamic though.
the videos of that thing on the track are pure sex.
I watched teh video and have absolutely no idea what just happened, BUT that car is bad ass!

I believe it is, give or take a few mph
Top speed Bugatti wins 
Top speed was initially promised to be 260 mph but test versions were unstable at that speed, forcing a redesign of the aerodynamics. In May 2005, a prototype Veyron tested at a Volkswagen track near Wolfsburg, Germany recorded an electronically limited top speed of 400 km/h (249 mph). In October 2005, Car and Driver magazine's editor Csaba Csere test drove the final production version of the Veyron for the November 2005 issue. This test, at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track, reached a top speed of 407.5 km/h (253.2 mph). The top speed was verified once again by James May on Top Gear, again at Volkswagen's private test track, when the car hit 407.9 km/h (253.5 mph), which equated to precisely one-third of the speed of sound at sea level. When getting close to the top speed during the test, May said that "the tires will only last for about fifteen minutes, but it's okay because the fuel runs out in twelve minutes." He also gave an indication of the power requirements, at constant 250 km/h (155 mph) the Veyron is using approximately 270 to 280 horsepower (200 to 210 kW)[16], but to get to its rated 407 km/h (253 mph) top speed required far more from the engine. Once back in the Top Gear studio James was asked by co - presenter Jeremy Clarkson what the Veyron felt like to drive at 253mph, James replied that it was "completely undramatic", and very stable at speed.
but for the money id def take the trans am... and take the hit on a single mph
