  • The 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.

    Jeff Lutz going 6.05 @251 mph for the fastest pass ever made in 'Street Legal' Trim during Day 1 of Hot Rod Drag Week 2015.


    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.
  • Yes, 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!
  • That's cool and interesting.
    Now, if they could use some of that engineering and technology to get 20 mpg from a 35' motorhome. :)
