I don't hate the Venom GT itself but I hate the fanboy community that thinks it's the greatest thing ever.
-The car is bare bones nothing, the Bugatti Veyron can be a daily driver.
-The car is assembled in England (it even says it in the engine bay) on a Lotus Exige so until they build 30 of them (only 29 are planned) it's a tuner.
-The fact that it is assembled in England hardly makes it American, like everybody claims it is.
Now here are my problems with the record
-The run was only done in one direction, not both directions to negate the effects of wind
-To classify as a production car, they have to build 30 of them, and as I mentioned earlier, only 29 are planned. This is why Guinness World Records has not recognized it as an official record yet.
-They used speed recording equipment that is known for only being accurate within 1-2 mph.
Like I said, I think the car itself is a wonderful piece of machinery, but to say it's the fastest car in the world is incorrect. People could argue that it is still the fastest [i]street legal[/i] car in the world, but the BADD GT by PPR beats it in that regard.
I'd take the Ford GT or the McLaren F1 or a million others over it any day anyway.
