Veyron was tested at 10.2@150mph irrc. Not sure if thats the quickest though. Is a mini cooper not aroung 15 seconds for the quarter?

Mate, best get a divorce so you never have to hear garbage like that again.



As for the fastest accelerating production car, it's the Ultima GTR720. 0-100mph in 5.3 seconds.... Ask if his Mini would beat that

Mini cooper S works hit 60 mph from a dead stop in 7.1 seconds, and finished the quarter mile in 15.2 seconds at 92.4 mph.
God thats fast, cant see any production car staying with that. .

He's actually partly correct.

The Renault Megane R26.R blows the Mini Copper S Works away and thats front wheel drive.
Not only does it blow it away specification wise but it has also done the Nurburgring in 8:17 – a new lap record for a front wheel drive production car.

Bring on the updated fake-retro 'ERA' badges.

Why dont they turbo and supercharge them at the same time, like that mental Micra nissan built?
Best of both worlds imho.

Get real, the fastest 1/4 mile production FWD car ever built was the 67 Toronado at 13.4, 400bhp 550lbft, though the 70 Caddy eldo was not far behind.
There are at least 10 cars FWD and faster over the 1/4 than the mini,
DODGE NEON SRT -4 14
NISSAM ALTIMA V6 SE 14.1
ACURA TL 13.8
These are but a few, but it was beaten back in 1967.

Unfortunately the Ultima doesnt count as a production car. There is a big debate about it, its something to do with the fact you can put any engine you want in it basically. This is why its not the fastest production car around the ring (even though it was RAPID).

My guess would be the Corevette Z06, the 2006 version is mid 11's, not sure what the newer one is. I'll ask my mate as he's a yank buff.

JAmes.
