Re: Venom GT 270.49
Too bad NASA wouldnt let him run BOTH ways for verification. It took him 2 years to get onto the Shuttle Landing Facility.

Re: Venom GT 270.49
The difference is being a production car, of course their are faster tuner cars. And the Venom being a Production car are debateable.

Well here is a "production car" made in the USA and I think tops the Venom as well. If fact this company has two models that will do so I believe. http://www.sscnorthamerica.com/tuatara.php It boils down to the point that these supposed "production cars" are now built by tuners so are they really PRODUCTION after all is said and done? I guess that is why the ZR-1 is so special since it really is a production car and thousands were sold. To me that is the real difference. A common man can afford and actually buy one from his local dealer. We are so lucky that this happened and now get to live the dream of actually owning a true supercar on a affordable budget. Long live the KOTH.

My comment about the Venom not being allowed to back up the run at NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) was in reference to the Guiness Book of World Records. Guiness requires a record setting pass to be backed up, by returning down the opposite direction. Hennessey remarks that there was a small amount of cross wind, so that the backup run, if allowed, wouldnt have affected much. The Guiness Book also classifies a "production" car to have 30 or greater cars produced. Last I heard there were 29 Venom GT's sold. I also learned that while the VW is fast, it also required 4 miles to get to its top speed. Thats a lot of ground to be covered.
