The Texas-built Hennessey Venom GT is now the fastest car in the world, having hit 270.49 mph on the same runway where the Space Shuttle landed at the Kennedy Space Center. To commemorate this victory for glorious American speed, Hennessey has released a very lovely special edition of their record-shattering machine.

So, they're making a limited-edition version of a car they're only building 29 of to begin with. Really. And it's a celebration of an unofficial record, because they don't qualify for the actual record... because they're only building 29 cars (and have only built 11 so far).

I've been lots of places and Istanbul and is one of the coolest cities I have been to. Hope Turks can work out being a open and awesome country and not head down the path of strong man in power for ever it too many of the neighbors.

While I feel sad for the families of MH370, I don't think that Ferrari deserves any of the blame. No one could have anticipated this and they booked a hotel as they usually do. There is no correct course of action in a case like this. Ferrari would find it difficult to rebook its team in such a short space of time and…

Miata sharing the cover with a McLaren F1? Because even when the question is about hyper cars, the answer is Miata.

I've done this same testing for work, at temperatures within 2 C of the AAA's test. The issue isn't the battery system's fault, so much as the cabin climate control. A cabin heater on an EV can be several times more powerful than the heater for the battery. It was for this reason my testing involved having the…

It's really a shame - like everything else in our world, there really is no "golden solution" to anything!

Stupidity isn't a hex. It's the Florida getting in 'em.

Exhaust pipes that are physically smaller than the tips that are put on them

Those darn Nitrous Pro Mods and their cheating chemicals!

Wouldn't it be even easier to just move the logo off the intake?

The Lotus 33, which won the world championship in 1965 had 230 horsepower. Basically a Camaro ZL1 is two Lotus 33s, by your logic.

You sound like a buffoon, dude.

In a car that weighs less than 1500 lbs, what's to complain about? A 0-60 time of 2.1 seconds, 0 - 100 mph in 4 seconds flat, and the ability to pull 4g under cornering, all with greater efficiency and more safety than any of their predecessors, has you complaining about what, exactly?

why would anyone buy an Avenger or a Dart is more to the question....

Did you read the article? Dealers won't do a thing for you until you have the official recall letter, so this is what to do until those get sent out.
