CSLGTR Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - 410km/h, dammmmmmthats more than the Bugatti Veyron

CSLGTR Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Are you joking?Don't forget the Mighty Mclaren F1, Yes in 1993. Witch basically mosler is a copy off.You want lightweight? how about a Lotus Elise or a Arial Atom?!Even if you were light, you have to put the power doen, like the GT-R. R35 GT-R is a very heavy car, but nothing can touch it.greets from Amsterdam.

akulax2 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Mosler puts its power down just fine and it's still lighter than Lotus Elise which is quite heavy if you ask me for such a small crumpled car. Can't say anything about Atom Ariel because it is amazing however I can't really call it a car. It's more of a go kart on 4 wheels with car engine. And please don't bring R35 into this. And I'm not sure what do you mean about F1 comment but a lot of supercars nowadays in someway or another borrow designs from other previously made cars.

akvette Says:

BigMikeLV Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - the top speed is in guinness

KFCOrBust Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Fuck the Bugatti, 20 years ago this car did the same MPH on half the cylinders, turbos and 1/100th the technology. Let them TT a new C6 ZR1 and see the Bugatti embarrassed again.

lollnternets1 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - yeah it did. It's in Guinness.

lollnternets1 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - And i bet the guy who bought it will keep it in a museum forever. If only Jay Leno would have bought it.

Jul 7, 2008 - In my eyes, these Men were unsung American heros. Gotta love Reeves for realizing the dream.

mariosson Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yes it seems that with less you have more than the buggatti, do not curse, the buggatti is better looking and usesable everyday, I want ot see you trying to live with this sledghammer everyday, if it was pure and simple topspeed be sure the buggati could kick your sorry american ass.

strongfp Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yeaaa no you can't I have a 4 Door GTS-T Skyline got it for 5400 bucks, perfect condition, 76,000KM on it. and i Bought a R32 GTR for 11 Grand. The GTR has since been sold due to money problems. But thats only 16,000 for 2 beautiful cars, and one of them can smoke the doors off any Corvette that doesnt have a Z0 badge on it.

spadgm Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - That is an amazing achievement!

lollnternets1 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - No. The Sledgehammer is a very civilized car. He says it right in the video. This car may not handle as good as the Veyron but it looks better, sounds better, slightly faster and easier on the bank account than the Veyron.

craaabppl Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - it would be better to do this kind of thing with the z06. it has a larger engine 427ci that could probably withstand more boost and heat also its 150lbs lighter than the new zr1.not saying the zr1 doesnt kick ass but i see more potential in the zo6 over a zr1. a twin turbo z06 that weighs 800lbs less than the veyron. it would have no chance

SinisterC6 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - the 427 has high compression and thinner cylinder walls so excessive boost is not optimal, there has been engine failure at only 6psi, for high boost you need to run a lsx block but its iron and heavier

Jul 7, 2008 - "You have to relocate the air filter, because it's larger now, to pass 350 horsepowers worth of air..." HAHAHAHAHA ROFFLE!!

KustomKlassix Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Holy hell. You are DEFINITELY an ignorant fucktard.

sir62092 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Of course he says it´s civilized! He built it! Lol

lollnternets1 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yes which means he had first hand experience with the car. The car wasn't for sale and was never intended to go on sale. He wasn't trying to get sales or anything.
