on a production bugatti car with 1010 hp. Really cool lowering suspension.

The Bugatti was never "officially" the fastest car. The Shelby is Official. Dont know how they determine that, but that's what I've read. Either way, they're both FAST.

Bugatti still looks better than the Shelby.

I still don't see how we have not made more than 1 mph improvement on the top speed record for production car over the last 20 years. In 1988 I remember Car and Driver reviewing the Calloway Corvette as the fastest car in the world and it STILL does the same speed as the fastest cars in the world 20 years later.

0-60 mph: 3.9 sec
0-100 mph: 9.4 sec

Slalom Speed: 65.6 mph

Engine

.....and it still costs about the same to hit that mark too.

Nice interview with the manufacturer, a walkaround, and a test drive of the Shelby (no relation to Carroll) . . .

We're talking factory production cars, here, not Highly modified, twin turbo Vettes.

Might wanna do some homework, Callaway is recognized as a factory production car with it's own VIN numbers.

I think there may be a question about top speed verses a maximum speed that can be driven for a sustained amount of time. I know the ZR-1 Corvettes that were built with a partnership between Chevy & Mercury marine motors set records for high speed endurance

And I am going to post the link so I don't feel left out.
