Production-car wise: [acceleration / top speed]
M3: 4.8s / 155mph (governed, supposedly)
M5: 4.5s / 155mph (governed, supposedly)
Surprisingly, the Z4 M Roadster doesn't even get close.
"Stock" taken loosely, the McLaren F1 (BMW-powered) or the V12 LMR (race-only).
Good that you quantified it to cars though, otherwise I would have brought up the K1200S (2.8s) __________________

There is the S54 M Roadster 0-60 4.5 seconds 1/4 in 13.1
These cars came with very restrictive exhausts and intakes to take power down form the the M3's 333 to 315. The respond to those mods well. As my sig states I am saving/looking for a really good condition S54 M coupe.
Numbers reported to have actually been faster, but they didn't want the S54 M Coupe to blow the e46 M3 out of the water on paper. | | | | | 02-08-2006, 01:52 AM | #6 | | Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Washington DC, Pittsburgh PA Posts: 81 |

I forget right off hand what the #s are but the new M5 and M6 both have 500hp... they both have the same 0-60 numbers, but the M6 is just a hair faster in the 1/4. __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it!

The BMW powered, British-built F1 from McLaren International, Ltd, is arguably the fastest and most expensive production car ever made. The specially commissioned BMW engine allows the driver to be centrally situated in the cockpit, affording a more equal weight distribution. With it's 627 normally aspirated horses pouring through a bespoke six-speed transaxle gearbox, the ultra-light F1 leaps from 0 to 60 mph in a matter of a few scant seconds. The McLaren F1 holds several records, including the highest top speed (240.1 mph) and the fastest lap speed on a UK circuit (195.3 mph). more info here: http://www.bmwworld.com/models/mclaren.htm | | | | | 02-15-2006, 11:07 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Hinsdale, IL.

The owner of the shop that works on my car has one and I've driven it -> w/Dinan intake and exhaust = rocket. I hope you get one soon. Quote: | Originally Posted by AlaskaBlue There is the S54 M Roadster 0-60 4.5 seconds 1/4 in 13.1

The McLaren F-1 top speed has been beaten... But, it was the fastest in the world for quite a while.
No, I don't remember who; some small sweedish-made hand-built car or something. Odd name, VERY limited numbers, V8 powered, higher top speed than the F-1 (by about 1 or 2 MPH). | | | | | 02-15-2006, 11:27 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 |
I think Bugatti Veyron might be the fastest and most expensive car rite now. With a top speed of 253 MPH. | | | | | 02-15-2006, 11:39 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: England, UK Posts: 1,288 |

If you want to see the british T.V. program presenter James May taking the Veyron to it's maximum 407 kph, at the VW testing track, go to Youtube and type Bugatti Veyron and TopGear into the search tab. Awesome. __________________

The veyron IS the fastest and most expensive production/street legal car. The Swedish Koenigsegg CCX is the V8 powered thing that beat the Mclaren F1. However, both the Veyron and CCX rely heavily on forced induction, so the Mclaren F1 powerplant still is a very special piece of machinery. | | | | | |
