In the interests of sanity and scientific verification, I feel it only correct to point out that quoted top speed for any car is taken as the mean [sum of the maximum speeds in both directions divided by 2] of two timed runs made in opposite directions, to cancel the effect of tail or headwinds.

And I have never seen a verified case of any or these speed tests being carried out behind or in the wake of a Porsche 911

So maybe if SuperSonic's car was measured in this way, and without the intercooler level of cold air they have oop North in Sweden, maybe his max speed crown might slip a little.

But meanwhile......... , we Europeans hold the record!

Yay!!
