The "REAL" Fastest Street Legal Car in the world.

Shelby SuperCars' Ultimate Aero


In terms of top speed maybe, but Andy Frosts claim to fame is a 0-60 mph time of 1 second. The Shelby takes 3.


These are just three illustrations why I think Mr. Frost's claim of 0-60 time of 1 sec.is bogus. These three vehicles are specialty built 1/4 mile racers. The two cars here are considerably faster and they get a time of about 1 sec. I believe his time is just a guess.


IHRA Pro Stock record holder Robert Patrick
ET: 6.31 sec. MPH: 220+ 0-60 time: 1 sec.



=============================================================

NHRA Pro Stock
ET: 6.6 sec. MPH: 209+ 0-60 time: about 1 sec.



=============================================================

NHRA Pro Stock motorcycle record holder Angelle Sampey
ET: 6.871 sec. MPH: 195+ est.0-60 time: <1sec.

I like this, finally a boat that won't just sit in the driveway...

"If you're wondering what to get James Bond for Christmas this year, read on. The Gibbs Aquada looks like a sporty roadster, but drive it into a suitable body of water, press a button and in 12 seconds flat its wheels tuck gracefully under its body, and you're boating, not driving. The Gibbs Aquada can do 100 m.p.h. on land and a cool 30 m.p.h. afloat, powered by a proprietary jet-propulsion system that generates nearly a ton of thrust."



Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons...
And no good credit hound!
