What's to disagree with?

It's not an opinion- it's raw top end speed.

They are 10 of the fastest supercars in the world. Yup.

I don't think there is an agree or disagree with this list. For once, it's a top 10 that is quantifiable...

I agree with math as well.

Just seems unusual for a eZine to actually use facts on a top 10 list

Well the Venom GT is vaporware (only 1 exists), the SSC Ultimate Aero may as well be vaporware (like, 5? Also, all hand-made in a shed), and the Noble is a kit car. But yeah, other than that they're fine.

Still, out of all of them...I'd want the McLaren.

The Nobles sold here may be kits, but not in the UK. There is a low number type approval that they have. They are sold turn key and registered as any other new car.

What's this "UK" you speak of? There's a world outside the good old U S of A?

The Bugatti reminds me of the SR-71, in that, the government always said that if any plane ever beat the official speed record of the SR-71, they would simply go out and set a faster time. Seems the Bugatti could do the same. If any of these kit cars were to actually officially hit 170, VW could drop on some LSR tires and tweak the settings on the Veyron and drop a 300mph bomb.

The Venom GT is awesome in the flesh. What the heck is a Zenvo?

Not in the 600 form though, just the low-powered version. So I maintain, this version, is still a kit car.

"Koenigsegg’s back, with the CCX. This car’s V8 with 806 horsepower will get up to 245 mph and only cost about $550,000."

Only $550K? Geez, at that price I'll get two!

The only disagreement might be in the semantics of "fastest". Is top speed the appropriate measure? Would 0-200mph be better? 0-100-0? 'Ring times?

Also, all my hate for web designers that do top-10 lists as a click-through fest. Seriously, get that stuff all on one page.

No the M600 is available as a production car from Noble.

It's also the only vehicle they produce.

Saleen S7 is an under-appreciated beauty.

I second this. Out of all the cars on the list I really like the look of that car.
