Confusion over Fastest Car

[KnifeEdge_2K1]

does it really matter, cuz these cars wont hit topspeed even if you throw it at daytona

and an f1 car has a topspeed of only about 200mph cuz of aero and gear ratios but it still hits 150 mph b4 the the ccr or maclaren gets to 100

With your argument I could say, "does it really matter that the F1 cars these days hit 150+ mph before the ccr or Macdaddy F1 hit 100?" Well, yeah, people do care about these things.

[reeper]

i think that the ccr is a good car that anybody would want too have
but not as much as the ferrari enzo
or is that just me!!!!!!!

[Quiggs]

My car is the fastest. I win. End of thread.

[2ndclasscitizen]

well, thats that then. Shall we all go home then now lads?

The fastest recorded speed of the McLaren was 386kph, but it reached the 391kph at another test track, but without measuring of official FIA people.

The Koenigsegg CCR reached 388kph with offcial FIA measuring.

The Dauer 962 LM is faster, but it isn't a production car, because only 3 cars were ever built (or better: converted, because they used old race cars for these). It reached a non-official speed record of 404kph

Look, mr. smarty, about 50 Dauer962LM are forsale. Only 13 have been sold.
And they are road legal.
It is a production car.

In the late nineties, bringing prototype racecars to urban roadways was an idea that several companies shared. Considering the contrast between sports car and race car engineering, embarking on such a project was a laborious task. Coupled with the limited production and tiny customer base, development costs were hard to recoup. Despite these hardships, several German companies still decided to create their own road-going Porsche 962, the most successful prototype race car of our time.

From 1983 forward, the Porsche 956 and its 962 IMSA spec version dominated for a decade. Porsche manufactured nearly 150 956/962s and sold many of the cars to private teams. During this period, Porsche manufactured and made available every component on the car. Due to this customer support, Porsche not only became the most successful marque a Le Mans, but also provided essential parts for companies, such as DP Motorsport, Schuppan, Koenig and Dauer, to make road-going specials.

Of the companies that have produced a 962 road car, the most successful has been Dauer. After displaying their first 962 at the 1993 Frankfurt Show, Dauer partnered with Porsche to manufacture a contender for the 1994 24 Hours of LeMans. At that time the prototype rules stipulated that a single road-going version of the car had to manufactured for homologation. As a result of these regulations, several homologation specials were born from the world's fastest racecars. These included the Porsche GT1, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and our feature car, the Dauer 962 LM. What good times.

At the 24 hour race, Dauer showed up with both a road version and race version of the Porsches 962, a design which had already won Le Mans six times. After winning the race, the FIA declared it would be creating rules to make sure the 962 wouldn't be back in 1995. However, with a Le Mans win under their belt, and with support from Porsche, Dauer continued to build their road-going 962.

So does that mean that the production record is faster than the modified record? How about if I bought a CCR and put some new wiper blades on it? Wouldn't that be the fastest modified car?

hmm..not a bad idea...CCR on top of both tables

[250 GTO]

What about the Callaway Sledshammer

So does a production cobra from Weineck in germany count given they are kit types although even the frame is original. 0 to 200km/h in 4.9 secs 0 to 300 in tensecs. check it out.

It's a kit-car, like you (somewhat) stated.
