The last Z06 and the C6 pulled a 7'56" at the N'ring. The 2006 Z06 is expected to hit in the 7'40" range. No Viper has toppped 8'10". Most supercars don't either. Last year the Vette racing team, uses so much from the street Vettes it's crazy, one every single race it entered.

Vettes should never be doubted again.

Viper, yes the Sledgehammer is the fastest street legal car, however, IMO, its ugly man. Anyway, i think the new Saleen S7TT might be able to top it, it already has a top speed of 232 and with an additional 250 hp and smaller drag it might just have enough to add that additional 25 mpg it needs to top the Vette, check it out here http://fast-autos.net/saleen/saleens7tt.html . Either way, its still damn fast!

Xer0, that SledgeHammer Vette has 880 hp. Ligenfelter said he could have even added more too but since 1988 it hasn't been touched, not even equaled. That's 17 years al all this fancy tech hasn't been able to top it. Just imagine if they took the new Z06 and did the same thing to it.

True and i hope that they do take the new ZO6 and just go balls out because the new C6 is so damn sexy, the C4, or is that the C3, either way, is not. Otherwise, i have no problem with it besides the looks of it. Anyway, time to post some more cars.

They should have cut some weight off that. It would make the Autobon more fun for its drivers.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the aerodynamics and downforce for 208 mph either.

Yeah, they should have, however it is a luxury car first and thus adds a lot of wieght, but imagine this care just 500 lbs lighter.

Also, about the 208 speed limit, that is what Mercedes figures it will go, now if it is capable of it with tires is another story, however theoretically, Mercedes says if tires that can take the pressure are on it, it should reach that area. Either way, 186 is still aweasome

And Aero, nice.

This time, some luxury performance

SL55 AMG(120K)
5.5 liter V8
469 hp
516 lb/ft
0-60 in 4.4
Quarter in 13 @ 110
Top speed 208 (Limited at 155, without limiter 186, reason it isn't 208 is because no one makes tires that can take a 4500 lb car going 200+ mph without going boom)


Just a side note, yes they do. GoodYear Makes solid rubber/steel tires that'd handle that nicely, only problem is they weigh like 150lbs a peice.

For free of course.

The hottest car out there? Shit, that varies on taste.

A favorite of mine? Well, I like the TVR Tamora, the BMW M3/M5, Corvette Z06/C5, Porsche 911 Turbo/GT3, the AMG Mercedes (all of them). Those are my favorites. I'm not much into the ridiculous cars with no practical use, like Italian cars. Italian cars in general are good for garages, and that's about it. I think Germany and the United States make the coolest cars.
