You've found a car that will never leave the confines of its paper prison.

That thing would never ever get the traction it needed lol...

Looks killer but will definitely not happen.. MAYBE 800-900 hp if they ever decide to actually make it.. and put a hard top on that ****.

NEVER going to happen with 2,000hp, on low profile tires and huge rims. I love the "mathematical" top speed too

Definitely not going to run those times if ever built, it does have a very close resemblence to a Ferrari 458.

It has the front of the 458 and the rear of the corvette stingray concept.

anything is possible... at one time people believed a car would never break 200mph. People even said bugattis idea for the veyron was a joke...

I suggest checking out the Dagger GT website.. They seem serious. As along as the funding and pre-order are there. This car will be made.

# Dagger GT-D will be our drag racing model with Goodyear Pro Stock Slicks, hydraulic-launched double drag chutes, NHRA rollcage and a modified/changeable rear suspension that will enable 200 mph in the quarter mile for our friends who love to drag race.

Everything on the whole site is worded very cheesy and fake sounding. All they do is brag about what it ought to do. They seem to try too hard to look legit.

exactly, which is why i hope they get the funding to build, so we can see truth in the performance. It would be cool to see a company further break down the walls of physics with cars, however I dont seee it happening anytime soon

until the Dagger is on the street, the SSC Ultimate Aero is the true american super car

just like 99% of all concept cars, it will either be completly changed or never made. even if everybody raves about it.
