I had a video of a Mclaren F1 going 391km/h

Because after you previously claimed a 426 was "the engine the powered the '69 Charger Daytona to a top speed of over 180 mph straight from the factory" you were unable to prove that any stock-production Daytona would or could get remotely close to 180mph ..

(btw check the various magazine inconsistencies in revs vs mph)
You have a video of McLaren's reading of 391kmh, whilst the official timing equipment read 384kmhOriginally Posted by Ingolstadt

To bad the Callaway 1998 corvette (Project Sledgehammer) never did an official run, and yes most will not consider this a production car even though its street legal.
254.7mph (409.9kph)
What is the official # necessary to be considered "production"?

I'm sure Guiness has a set definition of what's considered "production"

A '69 Charger Daytona could be ordered with a 2.76:1 rear axle ratio. This means that there were plenty of revs available to reach 180 mph.Originally Posted by nota
As shown in the link, NASCAR driver Bobby Issac once said that anyone could drive a '69 Hemi Daytona off the showroom floor and hit 180 mph.
'76 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine, '95 Lincoln Town Car.
Yep, they do have a standard definition. I think it's ~100, but i'm not sure.Originally Posted by 2ndclasscitizen

That'd probably rule out the CCR, I doubt there's 100 of those kicking aboutOriginally Posted by sunk

The CCR and CCX are considered production cars. The CLK-GTR was required to produce 25 of their road cars to be eligible to compete. Which they did after winning for several years. So I would assume that 25 is the "magic" number, but its entirely possible that I am wrong.

Well, it's a rather choppy copy; and i could'nt read the speedo either, it's "announced" by a host-commentator-like person from the video .... I remember official timings was done by the average of 2 runs right? perhaps ....Originally Posted by 2ndclasscitizen
