American Supercar Takes Title of Worlds Fastest From Bugatti
http://www.wired.com/2014/02/hennessey-fastest-production-carThe Hennessey Venom GT has set a speed record for a production car after hitting 270.49 mph on the space shuttles landing strip. At that speed, former race driver Brian Smith was covering nearly 400 feet per second while eclipsing the previous record of 268.86 mph held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
That is a fast ride indeed. Actually more of a "pissing contest" than a real car as no one can use that potential legally, unless you rent a racetrack !

400 feet per
second. And when I was a kid, I thought 0 to 60 in 5 seconds was cool. Neat article - thanks
