I dug up this list online on a site called http://www.Supercars.net and figured I would share it. The list on that site for each category goes all the way up to 50, but I'm only going to post to 5 for each.

3. 2000 Dodge Hennessey Viper Venom 800TT 2.7 Seconds
4. 1999 Leblanc Caroline 2.7 Seconds
5. 1997 Renault Espace F1 Concept 2.8 Seconds

Top Speed

4. 2001 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron Concept 250.4 mph
5. 1994 Dauer 962 LeMans 250 mph

hmmm....I wonder how the Cadillac Cien (concept) would rate in there....

Which list?

hmm 2.6 seconds huh? 2.6 seconds into that we'd probably be at say 20mph.

I thought there was something fishy about that "Schuppan" and then I remembered that it's actually a homogolation car produced by Porsche to meet with FIA regulations.

600 hp might be shortchanging that car a little bit.

What I'm wondering about that site is where do they get their numbers? There have been cars that have posted more impressive numbers in all categories, so why have they chosen these cars in particular? Example: they are using a mix of production, prototypes and specialty vehicles, so where's the framework for their figures.

Most of the cars, if not all that were on that list were track/dyno tested somewhere along the ways. I've seen quite a few of those in different Auto magazines such as Autoweek, Road & Track, Car & Driver, etc...that had the figures right with the articles.

I'm sure it'll be up there in the price range, and if they ever decide to build it, it'll be one heck of a fast car. I think it has the potential of being up there on the list, but some of those cars on there were built for pure speed, and nothing more. Cadillac has a reputation for extreme luxary which tends to weigh down their cars a bit. The Cien is on that website, and it's one hell of an impressive car. It sure has the potential to be on that list, but I don't think it'll be in the top 50% of any of those categories. I've always been a Caddy fan, and I think it's one hell of a sweet ride, but I don't think they're gonna manufacture them anytime soon.

I dont think they'll produce the Cien, but DAMN that's a fine looking car....

I've think I've finally made up my mine for what FUTURE vehicles I want.

1. Envoy
2. V8 Firebird quad ram air hood
3. Cadiallac XLR or a CTS (XLR) is preferred

hehe but the CTS would be a GOOD family car
