- 8_1_VanExplorerThe new 1400HP Venom GT is the worlds fastest car and can only do the 1/4 mile in 9.4 sec @ 167mph.
Hennessey lists the new Venom GT's 1/4 mile at 9.4 seconds at 167 mph (269 km/h) and believes that the car can hit 280 mph (451 km/h) or so before it runs out of acceleration steam. If that proves correct, it'll be a nice, round milestone on the way to the potential 290+ mph of the Venom F5.

251mph!!! FASTEST EVER Street Legal 1/4 Mile
During Drag Week they tow about 1,000 miles on the highway and a Funny Car could only go for four seconds. - 8_1_VanExplorerFunny Car with tailights ? More like Pro Stock.
- dodge_guyExplorer IIYes, I read that in Hot Rod. The only problem is, those aren't street cars! They are funny cars with tail lights. Let's see them do that with a full on stock chassis, then I'll be impressed!
- gboppExplorerThat's cool and interesting.
Now, if they could use some of that engineering and technology to get 20 mpg from a 35' motorhome. :)
