Wheels 12-31-2002, 08:46 PM It was not a lada! go go go 12-31-2002, 09:27 PM my wild guess RUF CTR it does over 200mph. Wheels 12-31-2002, 09:45 PM for it to be a production car there has to be more than 900 of that model made. No its not an ruf ctr IgotWRXed 01-02-2003, 01:53 AM Originally posted by Wheels for it to be a production car there has to be more than 900 of that model made. never heard that rule, did you make that up? because the xj220 was introduced in 1992 and is easily the fastest production car of that era, with less than 300 made. MrSubaru 01-02-2003, 06:07 PM xj220 top speed was 212-220mph (not bad for a v6) 281 produced 92 Bugatti EB110ss 212-218mph 154 produced Wheels 01-03-2003, 05:14 AM I mean 4dr sedan sorry guys.

Kevin M 02-04-2003, 08:23 PM Originally posted by killR2.5rs the fastes production car in 1992 was the McLaren F1. Sorry, you don't get the gold star. Read the first page of posts, it's fastest production saloon- which means 4-door or 2-door sedan of which at least 1,000 were made. Otherwise this thread would have been like 4 posts long. ;) Scubaru 02-05-2003, 09:26 PM SO WHAT IS IT?!?!?!?! Kevin M 02-06-2003, 12:18 AM Wheels, you better be dead or something, otherwise we're coming to lynch you. joeskiermn 02-06-2003, 02:28 PM I think it was the Buick Regal Grand National Kevin M 02-06-2003, 08:19 PM Originally posted by joeskiermn I think it was the Buick Regal Grand National That car was out of production for 4 or 5 years by then. Great car though, hope it comes back with the F-bodies. Wheels 02-08-2003, 06:44 AM Originally posted by joecab Oh, he must be talking about the VAUXHALL LOTUS CARLTON!
