crossposting this from another forum. i think you guys might appreciate it..

"Have fun with KITT," sniffed some AMG engineers when a group of Norwegians showed up at Germany's Papenburg test track with a 1987 Trans Am. The smug smiles were quickly wiped off the faces of the Mercedes tuner crew when the ancient Pontiac's practice laps were as fast as the AMG cars, and the F-Body wasn't even working hard. Once warmed up, the 8.9-liter V8 unleashed all of its 1400 horsepower on the circuit, delivering a startling 407 kph (252 mph) also known as Bugatti Veyron fast. Better still, unlike the Bug, the Pontiac's lap is official.

Needless to say, there's not much stock underneath the skin on this particular Trans Am. The car is the work of Polly Motorsport of Norway, and there's a wealth of top tuner expertise beneath the mostly stock exterior. We're sure even in its heightened state of tune, the Polly Trans Am is infinitely less expensive than the $1.6 million you'd have to cough up for a Veyron, and its creators say it's still street legal.

True.

There was a car just as fast back in 1989.. The Callaway Sledgehammer T/T Vette..

"This car is one of the fastest cars ever. Top speed set Oct 19, 1989 reaching 409.9 kmh (254.76 mph).The car was driven by John Lingenfelter. Only 1 of these cars exists, although, at the time Callway said they could reproduce it for $400,000 USD."


always been a fan of this.. such a fucking hot car

And it can actually put alll of that 1400bhp on the road? I find that impossible to believe, if they have then they have cracked Brabus's problem
