Default Worlds fastest GM powered Production Cars Not including ZR1

Since the SSC ultimate aero debuted in 2007 with a twin turbo C5R block 388ci 6.35L V8. Now theres a new 220+mph Street Legal Production Car. But first lets touch base with the SSC Aero. A street legal 256mph supercar. Was the fastest Production car from 2007-2010. Since then a new fastest production car the Bugatti Veyron SS(SuperSport). A few Videos on the SSC Aero.

Now theres a new GM powered 220+mph Car. "Hennessey Venom GT" Its been around for a few years but figured would be a interesting topic to dwell on Enjoy!

Im fairly certain SSC did quote a few mods to that lsx to get it to do what they wanted.

I find the 5 cylinder volvo motor in the orca much more impressive

Mosler was making a few cars LS powered super cars, not sure I'd call them production. Not made for top speed though.
