Obsessed with speed?  I am. I don’t own any supercar and they will most likely remain forever in my dreams unless I win the lotto jackpot. But I love to read about them.  I can’t afford to buy Guinness book of records every year, so the net is a great place to hang around and see them coming in and out.
Over the last 10 years, super cars have come and go to change and overturn the previous title holder.  Starting with the legendary Porsche 959 in 1986 clocking in at 317kph.  Now you have the Shelby Ultimate Aero registering 412kph from the same Guinness records.  That’s roughly 100kph gained in slightly over 10 years.  Not bad.  I suppose the next 10years will see another 100kph to crown man’s effort to push the speed envelope.   Hopefully, the roads will get wider and longer so speedsters can indulge.
Here are the top speed super cars since 1987:
1.    SSC Ultimate Aero TT  2007 speed 412.3
2.    Bugatti Veyron on April 19, 2005 speed 408.5
