Forgotten Performance Milestones

[Watchman]

once again i was browsing the net when i came across a page called FastAutos and it has qute a good collection of images and data! i'd say one of the best collections...

anyway, i was going through it when i came a number of facts that well, literally made me question my knowledge about cars. Among some of the worlds fastest cars EVER are names we’ve never even heard of.. in the list of ‘fastest cars’ the Bugatti Veyron is No.5….

imagine… and there’s this car the “1994 Schuppan 962CR”.. it had been like US$ 2.5 million … it gives a amazing 600 bhp @ 7000 rpm on a 3.3ltr flat 6 engine.. Imagine only 3.3Ltrs!!! and has a max speed of 216mph and did 0-60mph in a mere 3.0 seconds….

Man, 0-60 in 2 seconds. The only other guys getting that sorta rush will be the guys catapulting off the deck of an aircraft carrier.
