Well, my take is that this title is a bit misleading. This is for production car records. This car runs the 1/4 in 9.9@144. Pretty damn fast for a production car. Of course, a top speed of 256mph isnt to shabby either. I wonder what Guinness looks at volume wise to consider a car "production."

It can supposedly hit speeds of 273 MPH.......

I'd be fucking terrified going that fast.
