Ummm, the C6R/C5R is the most successful program in Le Mans/ALMS History. The Rolex Series is not American Le Mans, so you suck **** there. How does Porsche dominate ALMS anyways? Because they have their own class with maybe 2 competing other cars.

Top speed wise? It took the new $1.2mil Bugatti to top a car built in ------- 1989. Yippee, took the world almost 20 years to catch up to the Sledgehammer. Notice how the Hennessey Venom 1000TT destroyed the Bugatti by 4 seconds getting to 200mph in R&T's shootout? Yup, OHV motors aren't for fast cars are they.... The Speed World Challenge stuff handicapped the 2 most dominant cars those series had seen, the CTSV-R and the Mustang FR500 because they won every race when they came out. And how well is Toyota doing in NASCAR, since you brought up other single continent dominated series (F1).

1.2mil is the sale price. it actually costs them 4 million to build ONE veyron.

it costs 4 million to beat a corvette from 1989 LOL

I noticed that the last innovation on your list was in 1980. I guess GM's lack of money has stopped development. It's also funny how it's now 2007 and nothing has changed since their last development in 1958.

last time i checked... a 500cubic inch OHV 2 valve per cylinder hemi powered vehical is the quickest and fastest thing in the world. 253mph we're talking 300+

top fuel baby

wrong again...

heard of displacement on demand? - chrysler
MDS (multipal displacement system) - GM

chrysler first production car to have displacement on demand i believe it was 2005...

buick invented it in the 80s.

japan invented variable valve timing and lift?? NOPE

VVT = europe
VVL = US

No you dumbass, it takes 4 million to a beat a car built by Gordon Murray in 1989. In 1989 the Corvette was rocketing its way to a 14.7 @ 91.

Gordon Murray? Nope, sorry buddy... Gordon Murray's Mclaren F1 didn't top the Sledgehammer...

And look at what a tremendous success that was. Every car on the road uses displacement on demand now and all the OEM's scrabbled to use it in there cars as soon as possible.

the zr1 corvette in 1989 is faster than the newest NSX, handles just as good, brakes better, accelerates much faster, has a high top speed, gets better gas mileage, costs less... what else

and the MOST successful company in the world in racing (most wins etc...)

is

oops i meant Cadillac ----------ERS

That's why it was the OFFICIAL record holder until the Veyron.

I could strap a solid fuel rocket to a gutted CRX and hit 700mph in 4 seconds. No one cares.
