I like it. The fastest car not talking top speed but 0-150 is the Lingenfelter Corvette. That is what I would take first. Something about VW making that car scares me.

Sledgehammer Vette.

It may not hold the record anymore for fastest, but damn. 258mph out of a vette is impressive anyway you look at it. Hell, anything out of Lingenfelters hands is impressive.

How do you define fast? Acceleration from 0-60? 0-100? 0-150? 1/4 mile ET? Standing mile? Top speed? Fastest around a road course? Way to many variables.
I haven't seen much instrumented testing of the Bugatti, but until I do, my vote for the all-around fastest street car is still the McLaren F1.

I can't believe I actually forgot about that car. That is one badass car. Too bad they were only like 1.3 mil when they were in production...

When you can go 0-100 almost a second quicker than we can hit 60 that is fast.

There are different packages for Lingenfelter. One package with the TT 427 LS1 the car did 9.2 @ 150 mph in the 1/4. 0-60 1.9 seconds, top speed 240 mph. What a ride!

John Lingenfelter is a GOD!

That was the "base package" specs I gave. The 427 was faster. To put it into prespective it outran an F-18 fighter Jet on takeoff. Not bad for a car. Faster 0-60 than any crotch rocket and it weights about 3,000 LBS more.

All these cars are in the "world's least affordable street cars" category as well.
