"True" supercar: Porsche 959 or Carrera GT. I have never seen a 959 in person, but it seemed to be extremely ahead of its time.

Porsche Carrera GT hands down. :yes: I've seen both the Carrera GT and the 959. Coming by a 959 is very rare, since it was limited production. The one I saw was at a local dealership, in the back getting ready to be repaired; got some pictures too. :drool: It belonged to the sultan of dubai and apparently he paid a quarter million just to get it shipped here. :wacko:

anyway- probably the best high quality performance car at the moment would ahve to be the Mclaren Mercedes SLR-  the Mclaren F1 still holds the faster car at 232mph- the SLR comes in at 223mph.  but the raw look of the SLR in stunning.

I'm afraid that the worlds fastest car is now held by the Koenigsegg CCR. McLaren did excellently to hold onto it for so long though

Jeavis is 100% correct,. the Atom is the fastest production car made right now. 600kg and 330hp. Its an open wheel race car, with lights and tags. Acceleration, 0-60 in the LOW 2's. Quarters in the 9's, well above 200mph and 4 seconds a lap faster then a superbike,. The ONLY other car faster, around the track was the F60 , and it was only by a few hundredths of a second. All for a car thats <60k dollars ( atom ), will all options.

The link I am posting has a video in it, watch it.

1.4 seconds faster a lap then the Benz/mclaren SLR :pinch:

umm...the atom 2 is only 220 BRAKE Horsepower (not even at the wheels) and 196 Nm torque (man, I hate units like Nm). It's just a bloody honda vtec engine in one of these...

They are pretty cool though, but again not street legal here, which is one reason they're not popular. They list no options at all for the car, so I don't see hw oyu can say "with all options" since their philosophy is "what you see is what you get-if it doesn't need it, it hasn't got it"

Thats a base engine,

The engine I quoted is the supercharged model, that makes 330hp.

There is a link to a movie on the Atom page I posted. Watch it, its the 330 hp model with the 14inch Alcon brakes.

And do your research , diod you even read about it? They ARE legal here, in fact. On the for-sale page theres on in Washington state for sale, WITH pics on it on the road.

A quote from " Inside line "

( Available in America

The Ariel — the name harks back to an old British motorcycle manufacturer — is priced from ?19,922 ($37,350), but our road-legal test car would trouble the checkbook to the tune of ?26,244 ($49,202). It would be easy to spend more than ?35,000 ($65,000) on a 300-hp car. Most cars are sold in Britain but Saunders has already shipped rolling chassis to customers in California, Texas and Washington and is "close to signing a deal to export the car to the U.S. market." )

I would link more info from Ariel, but I am having probs connecting to their site.

There are many options available, from engines, to exhaust to wheels/tires to big brakes.

i meant here as in canada...canadians buy a lot of british cars, so it would open a huge market if they were legal here

you're right about the superchanged version though, I just couldn't find any info about it before. It weighs so little you wouldn't really NEED the supercharger though

While I'd question those figures regardless of where they came from... I thought we were talking about production cars?

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
