mac addict,
Yes, there are "modded" cars that can break 200 mph, and thus those cars do not "qualify" as they are not stock and not exotics (and many modded cars are not as "refined" as exotics and tend to require more "driver work" to get upto 200) ....however, a heavily modded Mustang GT is a POOR choice to break 200 mph with... because of poor aerodynamics and more importantly lack of aerodynamic stability at 200 mph make the Mustang a poor choice. A better choice would be the Ford Probe (early mid 1990's)... or a 3rd gen Trans-Am GTA... (do NOT use a 4th Gen, the 4 gen's TA's are NOT as stable as the 3rd gens....ACTUALLY THE CURRENT LAND SPEED RECORD FOR A "PRODUCTION BASED" CAR IS A 1991 TRANS-AM AT BONNEVILLE... 303 MPH. The 4th gen Trans-Am lacks the longtidudinal stability of the 3rd gen Trans-Am, even though the 4th gens are faster than the 3rds...(excluding the 20th Aniv TA model). All of the aforentioned cars would have to have their hoods reinforced and weather strip removed near the firewall except for the 6th gen Vette... Just to let you know, even though the 6th gen plain corvette (which you named a mid-life crises car) is a much better choice than a GT Mustang would be... as it takes only 470 rear wheel hp for the Vette to reach 200 versus about 700 rear wheel hp for a GT Mustang to hit 200, and the Mustang would require a better suspension and aftermarket ground effects to be truely safe at 200 mph; the corvette would NOT require any ground effects or any other body mods to make it safe at 200. You could still call it a modded 200+ mph mid-life-crisis car if you wished though. I do think they should have included the FORD GT on this list... I agree with you there. It's a true off the floor 205 to 207 mph exotic...
Bill in Denver...Bonneville bound.
Patrick.
We are talking stock production cars here. Not modded cars.
I can take a mustang gt, mod it, and hit over 200 mph.
Does that make it a super car? Nope.
plywood,
Was that a production car?
I don't think so.
Mejoe,
The corvette is nothing more than an overrated, mid-life crisis car.
What happened to the 05', 06' Ford GT's?
They can hit over 200 mph, and do 0-60 in under 4 seconds. Isn't that one of the 10 fastest production cars on the planet?
The GT would blow away half the cars in this list.
Ford was robbed!!!!!!
I bet Elin's car will go faster than Eldrick's car.
