hot rides?\nu can look 4 american muscle (plenty of power) they can out power a ferrari or cars like lambo porsche mercedes corvette or honda. these are not any normal cars they are called supercars 4 a reason. they can go to a top speed of over 200m/h and can go from 0-60 in 4 secs. with these rides you will never loss a drag race with ur friends.

u have asked the right guy!!\n1)porsche 911Turbo-crazy acceleration beating the ferraire 430.the 911 Turbo is monster fast, flashing through the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds and hitting 100 mph from rest in just 7.8 seconds. The 0-to-30-mph time is an incredible 1.1 seconds, compared with 1.7 seconds for the 430. Midrange performance is equally impressive, the Turbo running 50 to 70 mph in top gear in just 5.4 seconds. \nthe 12 cylinder Porsche was outlawed from Le Mans because it continually won the first three spots.\n2)viper-have crazy hp\n3)mustang GT-locks the 1/4 mile better than any other car\n4)corvette-ultra fast can be faster than the porshe!\n5)customly built honda!-they will be light, plenty of hp and cheap!

If I cant get the batmobile I stick with the E39 BMW M5. The fastest, most powerful car BMW has ever built. It can accelerate to 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds and is restricted to a top speed of 150 MPH. Without speed restrictors the top speed is about 180 MPH...

The shape of the car is not the only factor in how fast it goes. However it is one of the most important factors in driving fast and doing it with some relative safety. The word you are looking for is aerodynamics. Aerodynamics is how well air moves over and around the car. Aerodynamics also holds the car to the ground creating what is called down force. Cars can be shaped to give more or less down force to any givin side of a car. The Saleen S7 is said to be able to be drive upside down at 160 mph and still have all 4 wheels on the ceiling.

If drag racing is what you mean skip the imports, you can dump thousands into them and not get out of the 13's 1/4 mile.  A late model Camaro or Mustang is the way to go for cheap speed, lots of parts on hand...400+ hp is easily attainable for very little dough.  If you must go import get a six-cylinder turbo car (300ZX, 3000GT, Supra) and upgrade the turbo, can be very quick but also very expensive.

Shelby Cobra. Could accelerate to 100 mph and come to a complete stop in under 25 seconds. The coolest car bar none of its time.

My vote is for the Pontiac. That is one sexy fast car. I'd love to own one.\n\nForget Mustang, unless it's Saleen.

A car that does not use gasoline or diesel

I'd rather have a car that when I push a button, the headlights vanish and machine guns come out.  Push another button, and the trunk lid pops open and four rifles mounted on a rack lift up and aim at the radiator of the car tailgating you.  Push another button and it makes an oil slick behind your car.  Push another button and smoke bombs go off, making a smoke screen behind you.  \n\n\n\nHaving a spy car would be neat, but not practical - too many casualties.....

They are made to run faster so that they last longer when ran at the normal speeds in society. If cars were made only to go 65mph then they would stop working much sooner than a car that can go twice that speed.

have the fastest car and the best reaction time

The fastest car is the Thrust SSC, with the top speed 763.035 – Mach 1.02.\n\n"The fastest of those listed comes in at 766 mph (over the speed of sound!) by the Thrust SSC car at Black Rock Desert in Nevada, in 1997.\n\n"The fastest street legal car is listed at 240 mph. This one was the McLaren F1 in 1999."\n- van.hep.uiuc.edu\n\n"The Thrust SSC, driven by Andy Green and owned by Richard Noble, was the first land based vehicle to break the sound barrier on October 15th 1997, with a two way average of 763.035 mph"\n- cybersteering.com

All kinds of things. All of a cars mechanisms are based on physical laws. I suppose this is for a school project so it might be enough if you talk about speed, acceleration etc...and maybe about the chemical energy that is being converted to heat energy which is being converted to kinetic energy (in school terms). When going through a curve you can talk about centripetal acceleration etc etc

ford, chevy and dodge, the ford gt40 is pretty much like the old gt40, cept it's 3 inches taller than the original one and a lot more faster, it got its name coz the old gt40 stands for bout 40 inches, this car has a 5.4 liter supercharged and intercooled v8 mid engine rwd, this thing can accelerate a hell faster than the carrera gt3 rs, lambo murcielago and gallardo and ferrari 360 challenge stradale, but it's price is only bout a quarter of those cars, it's top speed was recorded 205 mph, the chevy corvette has a 6.0 liter LS2 V8 front engine rear drive, and has a top speed of 186 mph, among the three the dodge viper has the biggest engine, an 8.3 v10 front engine rear drive, the reason it was called the viper coz they said it can outspeed a jet fighter that was nicknamed viper, its top speed was recorded at 220 mph, though the viper has a faster top speed than the gt40 it cant match it's incredible acceleration, the reason why the gt40's faster than the other 2 is because of it's acceleration where you can actually feel the g-force coming in at you, making your neck hurt and it's agile handling, in fact the viper is about 15 cars behind and the corvette about 9 cars behind of the gt40,  no doubt that the gt40 is the fastest among the 3, it was actually made to beat ferrari, the second is the corvette and lastly the viper

the fastest I know of would be the Bugatti Veyron 16.4.  they are handbuilt with a 1001 Euro (987 SAE) horsepower, 8.0 liter quad-turbo DOHC 64-valve W-16 engine with 7-speed auto-clutch manual transmission, and tops out at 250+ mph.  in the 7th gear, the car gets less than 3 mpg.  a second key is required to program the engine into "top-speed" mode, where you can go 0-250 in less than 60 seconds.  an air-brake is required to take the car down from 250+ to 160 mph, and the audio system alone costs US$30,000.  a deposit of 350,000 is required to place an order, for a final cost of about $1.25 million.  it will be available in the US about summer 2006, and was recently featured in the January 2006 issue of Motor Trend magazine.

Henry Ford and his Model T for a semi-modern one.\n\nBack in 1335, Guido da Vigevano made a wind-powered car.  There were plenty of others along the way that ran on different things.  Check the site below for more details: http://www.ausbcomp.com/~bbott/cars/carhist.htm
