    What do you drive?

    Nah, it's only labeled that way, there is no proof of it hitting it's "claimed" 250mph top speed, and the car isn't really a production car in my mind.

    Koeinsegg CC is there at 242mph Supposedly..

    No, they are, those numbers were done by a Saleen test driver, no one else has been able to test the car though. Remember this is the 2004 S7, not 03.

    Quickness is determined by acceleration, so this baby is the quickest car around.

    There isn't any more proof of the CC doing 242 than the 962 doing 250. Neither of them have been tested. Anyway, if the 250mph top speed is accurate, name one car that's faster...........thought so

    The 962 is a race car, and lacks the practiality and reliability of a road car. The CC has been filmed and radard doing 242, supposadly; didn't say it is accurate, but a few media sources are quotable..check Zero, Great Britian.

    Of course, from what I have read, the CC still can't match drivability with the McLaren F1. Can't seam to find any reviews on the CCR, because it uses a new engine and lag-free supercharger.
