Corvettes aren't great. They a terrible, they are made out of plastic and they start to break down after a short time. THEY SUCK

The original Shelby not only went from 0-60 in 2.5 secs., it went from 0-100 and BACK TO 0 in under 11 secs. this car weighs about the same. Less weight needs less power to attain a given speed..that's why Corvettes are so awesome...

I'm Italian and I need to say: Ferrari learn here what a hypercar is! Thisi is a good concept very near to a F1 car...The new La Ferrari is just the hole in the wother again! Return to F40 and F333 concept!!!

A BMW S1000RR with driver is about 270kg and 190hp/83ftlb , can do a 1/4 mile in 9.57s, despite the BMW performance estimates about 10.3
With a driver, the T1 is around 650kg, with 575hp 311ft-lb should definitely be able to hit the 9s, just like the Ariel Atom V8. it's just gotta have the absolute perfect conditions of tire temp, weather, and road surface...
I mean if the Veyron SS can do a 9.9. and both the T1 and Atom can match the 0-60mph mark at 2.5s, there's no way they are slower than 10s to the 1/4, that is IF they got that 2.5 blitz start

All right, I agree, too sketchy. But what about the aero tt? I put the link on its page, it uses gps data.

@Blas
Its just as dddd said, Those and all his runs are only based on Speedo runs, Not to mention ACTUAL video speedo runs, AutoCar was able to get a 10.9@144Mph in the 1/4 with this, So even if this was an Independent strip run, This isn't gonna do a 9.2s 1/4, 2.4s 0-60Mph is possible, 4.6s 0-100Mph?...Less possible, But pausible is the right word.
Now it MAY be possible to BREAK into the 9s, MAY, 1000Bhp per ton, 1200Lbs, Paddles, But still only has 575Bhp and 310Lb Ft. I cant really say 100%, But its certainly not gonna do those stats you listed.

@BR2+ What do you mean?
@dddd yea it might be a few tenths of a second slower to the times, but it's still something.
I agree that speedo footage should be taken with a pinch of salt, but what about his footage of the aero? It uses authentic Official GPS data submitted to dewetron. Shouldn't we at least change the 2007 aero from these videos?

From the mobile website. . .
Also see the other videos on his channel, he has data on the venom gt and aero as well as other cars.

Has anyone seen asshoela's acceleration analysis of this car (and many others) on youtube? He recorded, from onboard speedo footage, that the t1 did. . .
0-60 - 2.4 secs
0-100 4.6 secs
1/4 mile - 9.2 secs.
0-186 - 12.4 secs.
Don't know if that would qualify on this website, but the figures listed on this car's page seem awfully slow for a car with over 1000 hp/ton.
He also has vids on the venom gt, and 2007 ssc ultimate aero, veyron ss, agera R, mclaren f1 etc. can we use those analyses?
