Shelby SuperCars' now fastest street car

[E30 Cabrio]

Ah, I see. I don't post here much so I'm not in on a lot of the inside jokes, so you could see how someone might take offense.

For example, I still don't know why everyone hates Bronzit.

Yeah dude I was making fun of heeter (lance entities)

sorry for the confusion

Does it really need explanation?

Damn, I just read the whole rest of this thread, from where I left off with my last post replying to Heeter. I just decided that he has his point of view, I have mine, they differ greatly, and going on and on and on about it wasn't going to get either of us anywhere, so I just let it go. And he did get me on what I said about the drivetrain being in contradiction to something I said about it before, so be it. I still never said I liked the cars looks.

But god damn, Turf. At some point, you just have to drop it.

I'm way too stubborn for that

As I said on a local forum...

When you're talking about budgets for cars that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, getting an engine to put out 1000+ HP isn't difficult, adding enormous brakes and top dollar race suspension isn't difficult, fitting that into your tube-framed carbon fiber chassis isn't difficult, adding huge wheels and sticky tires isn't difficult.

It's the over-all package that counts. Once this tube-frame monster hits the Nurburgring and starts destroying records with it's 1000hp and 250+mph top end, then I will be impressed. Somehow I don't see that happening. Somehow I think the only purpose of this car was to say "OMG WE BEAT THE VEYRON!! LOOK AT ME!!".

The Veyron, on the other hand, is not a race car. It was built as an engineering experiment and it was a complete success at what it sought out to do. In my mind, it is the ultimate GT car.

Not saying the Shelby isn't an awesome car. I just don't think it has "beat" the Veyron in any way.

Hey, glad someone can see past # of cylinders and top speed records! Good shit.

"The Veyron is about pushing the outside of the envelope, doing things that people said were just not possible..." and just part of it was 253 mph
