I can't even find a mention of the Swolleen as the "fastest car."
Please post the numbers!

Well first you have to spell it right. 0-60 3.3 sec. Top speed 220 +

F40 is faster at 237. Isn't the US built Mclaren doing 235?

No. Get a life and go away.
S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster"

LOL........... I told you you were living in the past. The F40 hasn't been made
for years. The F50s 0-60 time is 3.6 and it's top speed hasn't been proven and
the McLaren will do 231 but looses to the Saleen S7 from 0-60 by a tenth.

So the McLaren is faster, but the Bugatti beats them both.

In the mid-60s engineers 3 years out of school easily earned over
$10,000/yr. A nicely furnished apt fronting on a heated pool, with
carport, cost $85/mo utilities included, or buy a new house for a year's
pay. MGBs cost $2995, a well appointed vette $3500, XKEs or Cobras (the
real ones) $5000 and Ferraris $10 to 12,500 depending on model. Gas was
two bits a gallon and Jet Setters were whining that the "American
peasant" had had it too good for too long!!

Don't like sport cars? Fine. You could buy a Renault Dauphin, a nice
little 4dr that seated 4 in comfort and got 35MPG, for $1600 or a well
optioned US V8 for $2500. A '68 HO GTO could just pick its left front
tire off the ground headed for a 12-second 1/4 mile, and it cost under
$4000! Of course it'd only do 130 but ...

Now we got cars that go over 200, but they cost over $200,000 too, and I
don't know many "American peasants" in their mid-20s who can afford one.
Ain't progress grand?

I see, and you have driven how many of these beasts?

Well Bud if I posted "nobody knows" that means neither I nor anyone else has
driven one. AND I don't think I ever suggested that I did anyway.

I've driven the late model Vette, WRX and WRX STI, NSX and quite a few late
model sports cars.
Loco has driven the Lincoln which can't match a Subaru, even though it's a
"sports sedan."

Ask anybody over 18 which one they would rather own. The LS won't beat a 55
Chevy street rod either. It's not the point and you know it or ugh do you.

I'll take a loaded STI over the Lincoln ANYDAY. If I'm going to drive long
distance, I'll take an Audi A6, another car built better than the lincoln.
AWD cars rule.

This is a sailing group. Take your off-topic cars **** elsewhere.

If noone has driven them then what's the point of even building them?

Oow!
Tetchy.
