American car manufacturer officially takes down the Veyron's top speed record at 255.83 mph on a public highway!

Here's the article....I found this passage particularly interesting:

"Test driver Chuck Bigelow, 71 of Richland, WA, had to pass through the S-bend at a minimum of 210 mph in order to attain record speed during the following straightaway (with only 1.5 miles before braking was required); after the record-breaking run, Bigelow stated "if there was additional straight pavement on which to accelerate, the top speed would have been considerably higher and if anyone challenges your record there is tons left on the table"."

It's only $650,000 too

welcome to...repost land. the correct section for this would be "general car related" which is where the original thread for this it :-)

I didn't know that you couldn't talk about cars at all in off topic

Than again, I didn't know that there was a "general car related" forum on here either. Eh, oh well. How many forum break downs are we going to get?

well...we already put a general photography thread in the gallery section. We also have an entertainment and what not section in the off topic section.. so... I guess we can keep it going, lol

I never thought that I would see the day where you could be off topic in "OFF TOPIC". I understand the entire keeping threads in OFF TOPIC on topic, but well, you all get it.
