Hi guys! Just want you to tell me what you think the fastest car is! I think the fastest car is this:
Lamborghini Murcielago
Whats the fastest car in the world?
@Nitro: LOL! Thats soo not fast, its aerodynamic makes it look like it, but its not.
@Stan: Indeed, before the Bugatti Veyron SS was produced, the SSC Ultimate Aero was the fastest, and now the new SSC which you mentioned will be faster than the Bugatti Veyron.

Dunno the name right off,
But the fastest car in the world went 1000+ km/h
I think a train went 512 mp/h...

When it comes to MM2, MM2DF has it all.

here's what i found on Wikipedia ]
ThrustSSC.
ThrustSSC holds the World Land Speed Record, set on 15 October 1997, when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first car to officially break the sound barrier.
The car was driven by Royal Air Force fighter pilot Wing Commander Andy Green in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, United States. It was powered by two afterburning Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engines, as used in British F-4 Phantom II jet fighters. It is 16.5 m (54 ft) long, 3.7 m (12 ft) wide and weighs 10.5 tons (10.7 t). The twin engines developed a net thrust of 223 kN (50,000 lbf), a power output of 110,000 bhp (82MW)[2] and burned around 18 litres per second (4 Imperial gallons/s or 4.8 US gallons/s). Transformed into the usual terms for car mileages based on its maximum speed, the fuel consumption was about 5,500 l/100 km or 0.04 mpg U.S.
The record run in October 1997 was preceded by extensive test runs of the vehicle in Autumn 1996 and Spring 1997 in the Al-Jafr desert (located in Ma'an Governorate) in Jordan, a location unknown before for its capabilities as a test range for high speed land vehicles, with numerous advantages compared to the salt deserts of the Western United States.
After the record was set, the World Motor Sport Council released the following message:
The World Motor Sport Council homologated the new world land speed records set by the team ThrustSSC of Richard Noble, driver Andy Green, on 15 October 1997 at Black Rock Desert, Nevada (USA). This is the first time in history that a land vehicle has exceeded the speed of sound. The new records are as follows:
Flying mile 1227.986 km/h (763.035 mph)
Flying kilometre 1223.657 km/h (760.343 mph)
In setting the record, the sound barrier was broken in both the north and south runs.
Paris, 11 November 1997.
In 1983 Richard Noble had broken the world land speed record with his earlier car Thrust2, which reached a speed of 1,018 km/h (633 mph). Both ThrustSSC and Thrust2 are displayed at the Coventry Transport Museum in Coventry, England.
The date of Andy Green's record came exactly a half century and one day after Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in Earth's atmosphere, with the Bell X-1 research rocket plane on 14 October 1947.
Several teams are competing to break the record, including Richard Noble's Bloodhound SSC project and the North American Eagle project.
