Kings of Speed

2010 Chevy Corvette ZR1

Most of us have a dream of driving fast cars. I can relate to that. If I go car shopping, I will get a car that's powerful and can get me to work on time. But, out of all honesty, I love speed demons; those cars that just defy speed by all means. If you're looking for a super fast street-legal car, here's a list of current contenders.

2011 Lexus LFA

1. Lexus LFA
This is the fastest car Lexus has ever made with a top speed of 202 MPH, just as fast as a Gallardo. Now I put this car on the list instead of the Lambo because it's just crazy! It handles fairly well, but for a car with stats that match the Gallardo for a price 3x as much as the Gallardo ($375,000), this car is in a class of its own.

2010 Chevy Corvette ZR1

2. Chevy Corvette ZR1
This is the fastest Vette ever produced with a top speed of 207 MPH. What makes this car so special? Most supercars are built from special leathery material with carbon fiber stuffings and aluminum boltage, but as for this Vette, the basics is where it's at. The body was made from tough plastic. The rims are regular meshes. The roof is made out of Carbon Fiber, but that's the only Carbon Fiber you'll find in this Vette. The product: a car that can outrun a Enzo Ferrari in a straight line.

2011 Ferrari 458 Italia

3. Ferrari 458 Italia
The fastest V8 Ferrari ever built with a 0 to 60 time of 3.3 seconds and top speed of 204 MPH, topping the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. What makes this car special? Thanks to the power of science, this is the first Ferrari in a long time that has been properly designed. The handling is phenomenal and speed is blistering. I am impressed at Ferrari have done with this car. Everything in it just fits!

2011 Ferrari 599 GTO

4. Ferrari 599 GTO
Another one from Ferrari. This is the fastest front-engined V12 that they have produced with a top speed of 208 MPH. What makes this car special? Only well renowned Ferraris deserve the GTO badge, and this car has earned it. Its new more powerful V12 engine is more dignified and exclusive than any other of the V12's Ferrari makes. It also handles very well with a high ambition of sticking its sexy tail out.

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports

5. Bentley Continental Supersports
This is fastest ocean-liner Bentley has ever made with a 204 MPH top speed. What else is special about this car other than it's top speed. It should seem surprising because this car weighs 2.5 tons, making it pretty big and heavy for a seriously fast luxury coupe.

2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

6. Porsche 911 GT2 RS

I truly believe Porsche could have done better with this one. It's an all new Twin-Turbocharged flat-6 engine produces 620 horsepower giving it a top speed of 205 MPH. With that much horsepower, you could do as much as 215 MPH. But anyway, such speed should be revered. If all it could do was 205, that's fine. There are cars with 700 horsepower that can't even do 190 MPH. Sounds embarrassing, doesn't it.

2011 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport

7. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport
This car has made the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records for breaking the land speed record of production cars: 268 MPH! As we speak, Shelby Super Cars is trying to make their competitor, the Ultimate Aero III, much faster than this French bullet. I doubt they can do it. Bugatti rightfully deserved this title. There won't be car that will beat it in a very long time.

So here you are: your kings of speed for 2010. I hope a car on this list is the right one for you.
