This weeks blog will be about the fastest production car in the world made in Houston Texas by Hennessey performance. It is the hennessey venom gt a 1244 horsepower monster tearing up the roads with a top speed of 275+ mph. It holds the Guinness world record in 2013 for quickest accelerating hypercar with a time of 0-300 kph (About 187.5 mph) in 13.63 seconds.The exceedingly fast venom gt also goes 0-200 mph in 14.51 seconds the venom gt has also set another unofficial record on Valentine's day 2014 they went to the john f. Kennedy space center and got the insanely fast venom gt up to 270.49 mph. Along with its fast speeds and amazing acceleration it also has amazing looks with a lotus exige body stretched just long enough to fit a 427 cubic inch twin turbo corvette engine That makes 1,244 hp. Personaly I like this car because it is a true american supercar That competes with and exceeds its European counterparts such as the Bugatti Veyron super sport,koenigsegg agera and the Pagani huayra.

The 2004 - 2006 gto

In 2004 gm decided that it was time to return with the original muscle car the gto. They knew it had to be fast so they threw an all aluminum 350 horspower 5.7 litre v8 ls1 like they had put in the 1999-2002 camaros before. To go behind this 350 hp beast  the buyer had the option of two transmissions the 4L60E 4 speed automatic or the T56 six speed standard transmission to transfer all that horsepower to the back wheels. They knew it would have to be aerodynamic so they made it sit low to the ground and gave it a sleek smooth roofline so the wind would just flow over the top of the car. The reason behind the power and aerodynamics  is that the car needs all the help it can get because the car weighs 4,200 lbs. Despite the weight the car it is remarkably fast with a top speed of 162 mph as it is limited from the factory to not go above that speed but if the factory limiter is removed then it should be able to go much faster than that. The 2005-2006 models werent much of a change except for the engine upgrade from the 350 hp 5.7 litre ls1 to the 400 hp 6.0 litre ls2. Personally i love this model of gto but not all people have the same opinions that I do but whatever your veiws of the car there is no denying that it is a fast car for how much it weighs. Just like the outside the inside of the gto is amazingly comfortable for a sports car the four bucket seats that comfortably fit a person 6 feet tall. The gto is a true American muscle car that you can comfortably fit your family in unlike the corvette of course it's not as fast as the corvette but it's worth what you pay for because a corvette will cost you a good 10 to 20,000 more. Here are some pictures of my 2004 gto that makes 385 hp at the rear tires.
