Tuatara competition

I dont think that the koenigsegg jesko absolut would really achieve 330 mph or 530 kmh

SSC finally admits that the 331 mph run was not correct
Fun fact is that Dewetron says that they haven't even seen the raw files

"Tuatara" is actually a cute reptile, but it's not a lizard, even though it looks very similar to them. Just in case you didn't know. :)

Apparently the Tuatara secretly broke the production car speed record recently clocking over 300 mph. Official announcement soon.

Luv this, just saw it on thestradmans Youtube channel...
Sick as, and accelerates like YaMum, and sounds like the lion version of a car roaring.

I will just be amazed if we ever see one of these powerful US 'veyron killing' motors ever post a proper lap time, as far as I can tell they go really fast in a straight line in the dry and thats about it.
Until I see ONE laptime on a real track from an SSC, venom or something These are the dodge tomahawks of the car world only not nearly as cool as the tomahawk.
