'World's Fastest Production Car' record holders

[sunk]

Also, about a week before Koenigsegg got the record, 9ff got a like 0.7kmh top end less at Nardo.

And finally, I belive that VW has run the Veyron up to top speed, why wouldn't they, and have the official record setting run planned for some time very soon.

9ff seems to be a tuned Porsche so it doesn't qualify as a production car.
There seems to be a lot of controversy about the Veyron...why doesn't everyone check Guiness in the first place?

[sunk]

i may be wrong on all three counts, feel free to correct me!

Whoa! you need to correct me first...notice that the Avanti was as fast as the Daytona!
So,How the hell did the Daytona create a record?!??!!

Plus, the 9ff had taped panel gaps and such.

9ff is considered a manufacturer, just like Brabus (holders of the record for the fastest production sedan - CLS Rocket) Gemballa, CSV here in Australia and quite a few others.

They even removed the side mirrors.

Why is 928 in the list? It is slower than the earlier AM Zagato.

Does 9ff even meet the emmission norms? Remember, there is no RUF CTR yellowbird on this list....how do you distinguish a tuned car from a production one?
If I put new seats and a new audio-system in a CCR or a Veyron, will it qualify as a tuned car or a production one?

Just one of the things that utterly confused me. 928 set the FIA speed(from Wikipeda) record but the AMZagato was verified by a mag. Now which one do I trust?

Right, forgot about that.

Depends on what emission norms you mean. They are different everywhere.

On this list yes. I believe RUF is also considered a manufacturer.

It's a title handed out by relevant governing bodies in countries (in the case of a lot of the Porsche tuners, the German TUV.) The big thing is that these companies sell a car model (i.e you can go buy a RUF CTR, Gemballa Avalanche etc.) as well as just general tuning, whilst a tuner will just tune your car, sell you upgrades etc. If you own a RUF CTR, it's a RUF, not a Porsche.

If I put new seats and a new audio-system in a CCR or a Veyron, will it qualify as a tuned car or a production one?

I doubt it'd matter.

But, where the argument for 9ff goes astray is the fact that, in the record run, panel gaps were taped up and wing-mirrors were non-existant. That would definitely not qualify as a production car.

Oh and I forgot. That topspeed run for the Macca was sans rev limiter.

But it's not as though they're major modifications. Anyone with a roll of gaff and a screwdriver could do it.

Well, obviously. But, I'm 99.9% certain that a car without side-mirrors is illegal to drive on roads, making it's record well, unofficial.

Remember that Wikipedia is filled out by everybody who wants to. This must have been a 928 fan...
