What is the actually top speed of it, or has it not been determined yet?

The car toped out at 254.76 MPH. this is a Street driven car with AC, radio and goodyear tires rated at 300mph. For $700,000 you could have one to! I have driven this car twice. it is located at the National Corvette Museum right now. I will try to take some pics soon. :o

Cooll! I didn't really think this car was that real, I thought it was a one off that had a guess top speed, but thats awesome! Car must have some massive power when you stomp on it. I'd love to see some pics of it sometime also.
