ok, apples and oranges, but this ugly lil bugger just wrecked the porsche carrera gt's record at Nurburgring.
how is it that all these cars break world records and only stay in the 240s? the calaway sledgehammer has hit the 250s with john lingenfelter driving. how was that not a record?

I think it's because it wasn't considered a "production" vehicle. It was a modified Corvette. I don't understand it either. The Sledgehammer went a documented 254 mph, from what I remember.
yeah 254 or 256 i know it was up there and lingenfelter was driving. cant even remember where i read that.
