Thread: The Fastest Production Car is...

    Default The Fastest Production Car is...

    A Corvette, beating out the McLaren F1. I wonder if OnStar came with that recordsetter...

    And did it rat them out by calling the police/insurance company/Chevrolet warranty/etc to report their dangerous driving?

    2 Questions:

    1) How is that related to a Corvette? I don't see any Corvette connection listed..

    2) What is up with that shifter???

    Koenigsegg trademarks are the circular center command panel and the tall, precision-machined shift lever.



    not sure if you did not read the story or were asking rhetorically.

    Oops, my bad. It looked a bit like a Corvette, and my eye's saw CCR and read that as something with Corvette in it... D'oh!

    There are a couple of guys on the Board that are running a longer shifter combined with a short throw bottom end... it apparently shortens the shifting motion from hand on wheel to hand on shifter.

    It looks different... but I kinda like it.

    Here's the Miata version on one of my favorite California cars.

    Yah, just like the WRC cars...that's why they all have crazy looking shifters and linkage and stuff with the knob right next to the steering wheel.
