yeah the veyron is still the fastest production car, but Hennessey is defenitely the fastest car overall.
The lingenfelter corvette and hennessey viper venom have always been close, they always finish next to each other and each wins its fair sahre of races but Motor Trend and other third parties have all said the Hennessey is actually faster.
What really cracks me up however is that a 20 year old car is still barely slower then the Veyron/Hennessey Viper......The SledgeHammer Corvette was just ungodly....and still is...


Model: 1988 SledgeHammerCorvette
Engine: Twin Turbo V8 - 349.8 cubic inch
Transmission: 6spd Manual
Horsepower: 880bhp @ 6250rpm
Torque: 772 ftlbs torque
Top Speed: 254.8 mph
1/4 Mile: 10.9 seconds
0-60: 3.9 seconds
0-100: 9.4 seconds
Weight: 3671 lbs

What really stands out is the fact that it ran those speeds in a V8, with only 880hp....which is still 120hp less then it took for both the Veyron & Viper...

Very ture. I remember reading about the sledgehammer corvette. Just a small correction though Devils, is that the SH Corvette had 120hp less than the viper, it had 121hp less than the Veyron...lol
