Vanishing Point - The fastest rocket funny car in the world, unfortunatly the driver a few years ago died, its last outing was at Santa Pod near Poddington. It could do 400mph in an 1/8 of a mile!

Fireforce 2 - The fastest jet funny car in the world, it broke the record in 2005 and still has it to this day! It managed over 330mph! After problems in 2006, it now usually gets 270-290mph.

Showtime - The uk's fastest top fuel funny car, this beast can do well over 300mph at the 1/4 mile, however these cars usually get out of shape and don't manage these speeds. The fuel it uses is a very powerfull fuel which giev these cars over 10000 horse power, these are the most dangerous cars in the world!

Mclaren MP4-23 - This is the one of the world's fastest F1 cars, with a 2.4 litre mercedes V8, running on excellent fuel and not weighing hardily anything, this car is easily one of the world fastest cars along with other F1 cars.

There are also many others...

Please feel free to comment and give constructive criticism. ;)

Cool, but it's sad the driver died in the first one.

It clearly says "and many more..." :)

I believe the first one is Thrust SSC and the second one is Thrust 2 :)

[Nereo]

You know too much about it :P

[PaintYourTarget]

Yeah, Thrust SSC is the current record holder and Thrust 2 was the original one. Kinda cheating seeing as they have Rolls Royce Jet Engines strapped to them - they're absolutely mammoth when you actually see them.

The Fearri F1 is just a little faster than the Mclaren

[Scriptermone]

Also the bugatti veyron isn't the fastest street legal car, some guy created his own car from a Vauxhall Victor, and it's street legal.

Watch it.

The Veyron is one of the quickest production cars to 100km/h (62mph) with a proven time of 2.5 seconds[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]. It reaches 60 mph (97 km/h) in approximately 2.46 seconds. This is an average acceleration of 1.18 g (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity).

That car I posted there, goes 0-60mph in 1 second.

When I meant street car I also meant production car, your not gonna find vauxhall making loads of his these victors and putting them in showrooms and selling them :D

[e5]

Jet cars aren't even road legal, so they can't really be classed in the fastest cars section..

I saw fireforce 1. 287 mph in 6 seconds.

Doesn't make a difference, that car there is still the fastest street legal car in the world, even if there is only 1.

[Test:Tube:Baby]

Ok then, that Vauxhall Victor is the fastest street legal car in the world, but the Bugatti Veyron is still the (second) fastest production car in the world :D

The last two World Land Speed Record Holders... both in Coventry at the moment =DYes but they can only be driven on Salt Flats, they're not cars at all and don't fit the description of a car in many ways.

I've seen the JSB Dieselmax record-breaker car, it's pretty big and I saw Andy green with it too :D

Ahaha, but 2nd isn't good enough.

It's all about first place or nothing.

Mine isn't on there?

Fireforce 1 is the slower of the fuireforces, or at least it was before it caught fire in 2006 :P It could do 240 in 6 seconds ;) Fireforce 2 was the one that could do 280 in 5 ;)

[Colin-Roberts]

you could get a street legal jet engine car.. depends what they classife as fastest street car..

[Ajthedragon]

Just to make it clear, no jet cars arnt road legal, and this thread wasnt about the fastest road legal cars, it was about the fastest cars in their classes (Aka Fireforce2 - jetcars ect) :).

actually jet engine cars are road legal as long as the jet power is not used on the roads.

Last sunday, it did 287 in 6 seconds. I saw it with my own eyes, and the video did ;).

fireforce 1.

[Mr.Sam]

yup, this car is street legal because it has two engines, one's a jet engine other is a normal one.

Thurst 2 and thrust ssc are not cars, they are land vehicles.

[Metric1]

[Nemo]
