Friday Fun Thread: Supercars!

PISSED sent me the following link that I thought was just perfect for a Friday Fun thread for cars:

World's Fastest Cars 2010

As Jeremy Clarkson from TopGear would say: These are the fastest cars . . .(long pause). . . in the world. Bugatti Veyron was dropped down to second place some time ago by SSC Ultimate Aero, but the engineers at Bugatti tought, this is unexceptable! So they made even faster and more powerful version of Veyron and now it is back to it's rightful place, at the pole position. It is still a close call between two leaders of this chart and you can expect the competition to go on.

World's fastest, currently in production and road legal cars are:

There aren't a lot of surprises (spoiler: The Bugattie Veyron is the fastest car, again), but what is very interesting to note is the criteria:

I drew the line at 220 mph (350 km/h) speed marker, because there is quite many cars that can do 300 to 345 km/h

220 MPH is the cutoff - meaning that any car that doesn't achieve 220 or better doesn't make the cut. As a street legal automobile... The biggest surprise for me, though, was the #2 slot - that's an American car in second place, not a million dollar supercar from European makers...

Okay, so there are some advantages to living in the modern age, I guess...

That is all.
