Forbes on the world's fastest cars

[dladow]

I saw this article linked on yahoo. Here's a quotation from the article:

 

"In general, we only included factory-assembled vehicles of which multiple copies exist on the list. Special prototypes were not what we had in mind. We also would not consider a one-off hot rod that some guy builds in his garage, as appropriate for the list. But, if you can build a car in your garage that goes 202 mph, please call Forbes.com at (212) 366-8900 because we have questions for you."

 

Hmmm. Maybe some of the twin turbo SBC HybridZ folks should introduce themselves.

P.S. Here's the link to the article.

A set of twin turbos is not enough to make a car going 202mph. You need a lot of engineering to make a car stable at that speed. S30 does not have good aerodynamics. On the street however, a turbo Z can kill pretty much anything.
