Fastest or quickest? Why is it so challenging to differentiate the two?



Fast= Capable of moving with great speed.

Quick= Occurring in a short time; happening or done rapidly.


Jeeeezzzzzz

[hackin'n'bashin]

BASED??????

WTF.

I'm not one to jump to the defensive position normally, but.........

Chinook APU and X-drive box, straight into the Can-Am, sold rear tires and weld up the shocks.....

OOOOOH I'm a contender too!!!!!


sorry...

Back to the Guiness.

Those two radial grooves make them DOT street legal competition tires.


How they have the gaul to call this anything but an Ultima just gets me

I have no clue why they wouldn't just say it's an Ultima GTR. I guess you can ask the "designer" right here:

Hmm, the last sentence on this page:

http://www.carartmcmahan.com/kirby.html

"In the course of a limo ride he agreed to finance the building and design of the G-Force, the first car Marlon would design completely from scratch."

Design completely from scratch?

Oh come on now girls... if he was one of the PH guys you'd be patting him on the back

[hackin'n'bashin]

And you wounder why Americans are some times given a bad name... According to the web sight, he designed the car from scratch... Problem is I bet he believes in his own Crap.....

Well if he is what he says he is then we all must be designers.... most of us have changed some thing from std when we built our first Ult...

Oh Please somebody tell him to go look in the mirror....

The 0-100-0 record that the Ultima holds is for a production car...

Quote from the Ultima website :-

"The Ultima Factory have smashed the production car world record in an Ultima GTR for sprinting to 100mph and back to zero again leaving all other super cars in its wake along a 1.8-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, Leicestershire"

This car is not a production car.

Yes it is...

http://blog.wired.com/cars/2009/02/new-zero-to-60....

"Designer Marlon Kirby and financier David McMahan unveiled the Maxximus G-Force this morning in Beverly Hills, and they'll happily sell you one for $3 million."

1600hp for 3million... thats USD1875/hp

If anyone's interested I'll sell my 580HP one for the BARGAIN price of USD1000/hp


...you guys are right - he's a wker

Yes it is...

I don't beleive that it is, under the generally accepted definition.

At best, it can currently be described as a "one-off".

Just because the builder is offering to build another does not (IMO) make it a production
car.

Once the second one has been built, it is on the way to BECOMING a production car, but
I submit that it will require more than 2 to be built before it fulfils the generally
accepted definition.

How many ? I don't know - but certainly more than one !!

[crafty]

^^^ I was taking the piss... at 3m each there'll only ever be one

[touching cloth]

It's not the fastest street legal car either surely - Red Victor on here I think claims that and his stats appear considerably higher, only one he doesn't claim or at least show is 0-100-0

RED VICTOR PERFORMANCE
0-60mph =1sec
0-153mph = 4.8secs
Standing 1/4 = 7.6secs on pump gas and 315 MT drag radials
standing 1/4 = 7.41and 197.6mph on ET streets and VP Q16 so far.......
top speed = 223mph ,and no bodywork came off.This was done at Bruntingthorpe Sept 2008.That speed attained in a slow 19secs due to excessive wheelspin and coming out of the throttle(which was 1/3 down max!!.

Speaking of fastest street-legal, a Corvette claimed the "fastest street-legal car" title this month:

2400 hp
1-60 1.0s
1/4 mile 6.95s
