What is on the hood? The transformer symbol? 0 -
It will be very short-lived as King of the hill. Dodge will simply crank up the Viper V-10 a bit more. Hennessey already gets 1,000 horse power and 1,100 ft lb of torque out of the Viper engine... http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/hennesseyperformance/ItemDetail.php?Item_ID=238&cart=vPjvTREl&DoThis=Venom+1000+Twin+Turbo+SRT&ActionReq=Where

With only 376 CID I wonder how long the motor will last?
Very impresive though.[:0][8D]0 -

I think that it looks pretty nice. I have had a desire for a Vette starting with the day my Dad's old boss took me for a ride in his '63 fulie when I was 8 years old. 2009 may be the year I take the plunge! 0 -

the charger is a hot car true enough. but even the hemi charger gets left behind the zo6.
from mopar magazine:
Power (SAE net): 340 bhp @ 5,000 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 390 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm
from chevrolet.com(2008 model year)
7.0 Liter V8 that produces a Society of Automotive Engineers-certified 505 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque.
the charger is nice, but it just doesnt stack up.0 -
I was going to run into it/over it/through it, when my 4500lb bohemoth got done with that 'vette there would be nothing left but a smear of grease on the driveway...[}:)] 0 -

The Corvette isn't the king of the hill.
This little 500K wonder has blown them all off the road!
It seems the Bugatti Veyron will have to find a new unofficial claim to fame. Maybe it can be the fastest selling 2-nd fastest car in the world? As for being the fastest car in the world the Guinness Book of World Records has officially awarded that title to the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. After its record run across a Washington state highway that yielded an official average speed, as determined by the Guinness Officials, as being 256.19 mph.
In order to be the worlds fastest production model car you have to meet all the safety and emissions standards that production models face, as well as run on fuel from the average pump. The Ultimate Aero TT does all that and more. It carries luxury items as well, such as a 10-speaker sound system, leather/suede upholstery, navigation system and an operable back-up camera. Also included is a front-end lift system that raises the nose of the car 4-inches to aid it in clearing rough roads. Add to all of that the fact that the Ultimate Aero TT achieved its record run with a twin-turbo V8 with 1183-hp and 1094 ft-lbs of torque while meeting emissions standards. which is another record that SSC is applying for with Guinness.
While the SSC Ultimate Aero TT now owns the bragging rights as the fastest production car in the world they still feel they have room to raise the bar a bit further. The body itself has been tested in the wind tunnel to withstand speeds of 273-mph. Since the record setting run was performed on a public road with an uneven surface it stands to reason that the Ultimate Aero TT could certainly stretch out its lead a bit further.
If you are in the market for the worlds fastest production car then you may want to contact Motor Cars of Las Vegas (www.motorcarslv.com) as they are the only dealership licensed to sell the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. And if you are not in the market you might want to get a hold of the latest Project Gotham Racing 4 as the Ultimate Aero TT is available to you at a far cheaper price. Plus you have a decreased chance of making internet headlines when you crash your Ultimate Aero there than you will in real life
