In 1987 a guy by the name of gale banks made a twin turbo 1700 hp pontiac gta and made a pass at 277mph. The average speed was 268mph. And that's with the technology they had then. So who more impressive now?

the veyron can take a corner at 120 mph

i highly doubt the pontiac could even take a corner...

What makes you say that??

it's american

can't argue with you there..

Ignorance is bliss, yes.

What truly set the Fit apart was its handling — not a pretense of handling but the real deal, with springs and struts that allowed one gentle rebound and no more, the only car here that felt happy storming the switchbacks. We later confirmed this when the Fit sailed through our lane-change test 6 mph faster than anything else here — faster, in fact, than a Corvette Z06.

You were saying??
