    @swamigal
    so 1mph is 1,61km/h

    so 283mph x 1,61 = 455,63km/h

    that’s a really crazy? thing oô didnt know a newtime car that hits that speed (like veyron, aero ss, etc. )

    It is no matter if this car is not planned? to be a daily driven car, for shopping, etc. A car is a car. Four wheels, doors. And THIS car is the fastest, much faster than any luxuriouses. Now they see, no Ferrari, no Bugatti, no BMW, no any other car can beat this Pontiac. I am happy to see, the good old american V8 iron is the ultimate engine,
