"This isn't a Guinness World Record. Let's make that clear from the off. For that 30 Hennessey Venoms would need to be built to qualify it as a production car (oddly, only 29 are to be made), a two-way average would be needed and a Guinness official has to be present. See Hennessey's comment for full clarification.

Instead, this video is just a phenomenal display of speed. The recorded terminal velocity of 270.49mph amazingly isn't the most startling part"

Looks fast lol.

170 feels fast, and extra 100 on top must feel shit the bed fast.

Nice looking car as well, I also like the name.

Crazy fast! Although those gear changes were awful. Dunno if he was worried about missing a gear or just not used to driving a 'stick' haha! It is American after all.
