Europe's fastest street-legal car... And it's a Pontiac!

Quote:

"Have fun with KITT," sniffed some AMG engineers when a group of Norwegians showed up at Germany's Papenburg test track with a 1987 Trans Am. The smug smiles were quickly wiped off the faces of the Mercedes tuner crew when the ancient Pontiac's practice laps were as fast as the AMG cars, and the F-Body wasn't even working hard. Once warmed up, the 8.9-liter V8 unleashed all of its 1400 horsepower on the circuit, delivering a startling 407 kph (252 mph) also known as Bugatti Veyron fast. Better still, unlike the Bug, the Pontiac's lap is official.

0-100 km/h in 2.23s, 0-200 km/h in 5.55s, 0-300 km/h in 12.22s.

Those numbers are crazy, not sure how believeable it is considering the fact in the videos, it has issues with traction, a major issue lol.

Well it was the fastest, so mabe that is how much HP they needed to do so.

On that 1st video, almost seems as if he is making a "SMOKE SCREEN" on purpose as he passed the other cars. Kinda funny.

At about 1:58 in the first video, you see the car behind him trying to get around the corner to keep up......unsuccessfully!
