At this point in time, what are your current picks of the 3 fastest
cars (in speed terms) in the world (which can include any F1 car/s)
and please separately say why, for each car named.

SCC - 763
Thrust 2 - 714
Blue Flame - 633
Thread over. Thankyou and goodnight :)
Geez, I didn't even get a chance to place my drink order. *gets up from table*
Yeah, I'd say Knock-on has that nailed with the land speed cars. And then you get into top fuel dragsters and funny cars. F1 cars aren't really that fast in terms of top speed vs certain other racing formulas.
One must give a shout out to the new Bugatti Veyron though... in terms of road cars. Something like 250+ mph?
The Radical SR3 and SR8 deserve a mention for just being quick. Never mind outright top speed, that car is like a bullet on the race track!
Am I right to say there is a new Thrust project with a target speed of 1000mph?! EEEEEKKK
The Budweiser Rocket - 739?Quote:

It didn't meet any of the regulatory conditions, but surely it must gain a highly commended, even if it did only peak at 739 for a second.
A problem with many of these cars is that in real life they wouldn't be the fastest as the only places they can hit these speeds is in Bonneville, a more interesting question would be which cars hit the highest speeds on a normal race track. To which the answer would probably involve an F1 car there or thereabouts...
It's still real life though.Quote:
