If you're going to run, you might was well do it in the fastest car possible!
That's some major horsepower going to the rear wheels there. Outstanding Norway, I love you guys!
-
Well you'd better :D
-
well duh, norway is awesome
but we all know you know that by now
(side note) norway also made Aqua, the group that sang "Barbie Girl" we appolgise for that
-
Aqua was Danish AFAIK.
But AHA was Norwegian ;)
-
Norway has always had major league talent in its submarine forces. I think they have reduced their active boats but they always earned the respect of Yank and Brit skippers in NATO exercises. They would have been a major asset during the Cold War had the balloon gone up.
And anyone who could do a Trans like that is OK in my book. ;)

i remebered them being norwegian, looked it up and they had norwegian and danish members, so we're both right, but who cares about them lol
I'll take that car, but I'd rather have that engine in a nice looking car
I can tell you from expierence norway is one cool place to drive, winding narrow moutain roads, it's like you driving in a car commercial, what a rush, oh yeah and basically no cops on the roads enforcing the speed limit
-
Strange they used American Iron.
Well not really... :devil

Be careful about the speed limit thing, next thing you know ole Moray will be in here throwing a hissy fit about how wreckless and uncaring you are.

Devilman go too fast... :cry
:D
-
ohh, well i speed, but not wrecklessly, esp not there, one wrong move and in some places you can be going off a couple thousand foot sheer drop, some reeeeal big mountains up there, thats where all the big base jumpers go to get their adrenaline rush.
no one would want to go over this

Lead singer is Norwegian Lene Nystrøm (or something like that), but the rest are Danish :)

search Koenigsegg, swedish car company, fastest production car in the world
don't get me wrong i love american muscle cars but how can you call ferraris and lambos wussy?

Exactly how large is the Rastafarian community in Norway?

As large as the number of Norwegians that didn't surrender.

Search again cuz it's not. Ahahhahaahahah
Here is a hint.

Most Euro cars are working with fours or sixes. There are some high end units that get eights or twelves. Did Lambo ever actually do any real racing? Ferraris are ok but for the most part have small displacement 12s. Not that I"d not love to have any of em but the the Euro snobbery I see and hear just irritating. I'm just sayin, huge American V8s rule and when properly applied are the equal of anything the world has to offer.

ok well I'm no super car expert so I dunno what kind of car that is, but it isn't the fastest car because I looked it up, I was sort of right the Koenigsegg WAS the fastest production
On 28 February 2005, at 12:08 hrs local time, in Nardò, Italy, the CCR broke the record for the fastest road legal car in the world, having attained 388.87 km/h (241.63 mph), breaking the record previously held by the McLaren F1. The record was held until September 2005 when the long awaited Bugatti Veyron broke the record again at 407.5 km/h (253.2 mph)
either way bronk you're just proving my point further because I'm going to assume thats a European car, and even if it isn't I'm still right because european super cars are second to none when it comes to top speed out of the factory
it's all about your style, personally I love both super cars and American Muscle, and muscles are in no way wimpy compared to these euro cars and vice versa.

By nothing better to do, do you mean taking note of your stated Norwegian background as well as your avatar? OK.

SSC aero is the fastest production car...and it's American.
he SSC Aero is an American-built mid-engine sports car by Shelby SuperCars. Its higher-performance limited production version, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, is currently the fastest production car in the world, with a fastest recorded speed of 413 km/h (257 mph). This speed was reportedly achieved during tests on September 13, 2007 in West Richland, Washington, United States and verified by Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007.
How does that crow taste...need salt?

I just feel so honored that a thread I started has spawned a runnin forum theam lol

You may have started a thread but it has nothing to do with what I started in that thread.
I take full credit. Indeed, it's mine.
-
Shelby Cobra, Ford GT 40
both British actually :D
-
both British actually :D
The original gt 40 was a henry ford II idea..not a brit.
-
... based on a Lola design with input from Lotus and Cooper, designed and prototyped at Bromley, built in Slough. I believe some US engineers did work on the project though. :)
-
It is usually a winning combination when US and Brits work together. :aok
-
yeah, and they both had monsterous American V-8s in em.

15 years later,twice as much horsepower,"only"17 mph faster.Its about time eh :aok

Its not it,huge v8's is the only way to generate any competitive horsepower for American auto industry(one of the reasons why its in pooper now).Try comparing displacement,see how much power snubbing Euros can get out of equal size US's engine.

When they can generate 7,000 - 8,500 horsepower from 500 c.i.d., get back to me.

You mean one of those "rebuild after every run engines"?

It took you 15 years to discover that?In another 20 years you should be good and ready for F1 competition.Bravo!

1000+hp engines per litre that last longer than 5 sec run?
Sure,they were around in formula 1 in mid 80's.

Umm correct me if I'm wrong... 900 is less than 1000?

Qualifiying laps take longer than 5 secs.

Key word there, WERE. And the litre per HP is irrelevant given the 2 drastically different natures of the motorsports we're talking about.
That Norwegian Trans Am is about a tenth the cost of McLaren. Now we're talking value per litre. Top that.
-
Anyone who would take a Trans Am over a McLaren F1 needs their head read...and I don't even really like F1's (I prefer cars made in Maranello)

You pick huge fat ugly over beautiful?Im not surprised.
-
I didn't. The Norwegians did. And if I had my pick I'd still pick the TA. But, I'll take the F1 if you're going to pay the maintenance on it.

No but I'll take an ssc areo over the McL.

$50,000 plus for an oil change...no thanks!

Tronsky
$12,000, included with clutch every 3,000 miles:)
It held a top speed record for over a decade.Priced at £600,000 (about $1,000,000) when new in 1994, the McLarenF1 is one of the few supercars that have gone up in value while still nearly new, and it is extremely unlikely that we'll ever see these cars depreciate.
If any other car will hold that reccord as long as this one,it will be remembered.
Trans Am?SSC?I don't think so.
