What's the fastest american made factory production car?

Okay so if you read the question clearly it asks which American made factory production car is the fastest. That would mean the Bugatti is out of the question also Porsche and RUF. That also disqualifies the Saleen S7 and Ford GT because they are not factory produced each and every one are hand built. Also the person who states the Grand National had 500 horsepower your smoking some good stuff, for its time it was the fastest but that was in the 80's it was only a turbo-charged V6 for crying out loud. That comment about the Lightning is just plan moronic, a Corvette will destroy that thing and it WAS the fastest production TRUCK until the SRT-10 by Dodge. Anyhow to answer your question it is hands down the C6 Z06. Over 500 horsepower in stock trim.

The Corvette is the best all around sports car that you can buy for the money. In a comparison by Automobile magazine between a Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper, and a Ford GT, the Corvette was judged the winner.

"Fast" depends on your definition. In all out top speed, the Ford ran 205 vs. the Corvette's 198. In the quarter mile, the Corvette ran a 12.0 to the GT's 12.2, and Car and Driver got 11.7 seconds for the Vette. Around the test track, the GT was the fastest of the three with a time of 1:32.45 with the Corvette only .3 seconds behind. On different tracks, I have seen the Corvette out run the GT.

Fords new GT40 is. The second is the Viper. Saleens are fast but my 81 Z28 Camaro has eaten too many of those for me to say they are fast. Corvette is kind of overrated but not by much and far superior to the Saleen and the rest of the Mustang knock ups. And the S7 is not a production car. They are a limited edition and custom built.

I believe it is the Saleen S7 because Saleen produces the car themselves and they also produce a fair number of them. What else makes a car a production car?

Ford F-150 SVT (Special Vehicle Team) Lightning Fastest Production Vehicle In America, and its a truck !Beats the Corvette hands down in handling and straight speed , fastest and Quickness are two different things a 2001 1.8 turbo VW will do a 150 MPH +

Think the jury is still out between a Viper and a Corvette .

The GT40 no longer in production, Modified cars are not the

same as production cars.

GT40 maybe...Corvette is over rated...you can order a Rouche stage three supercharged Mustang from the dealer does that not make it stock when you get it...? I mean Porsche has RUF and RUF just mods a Porsche but is actually recognized as a car manufacturer, if you can follow that...I mean it is still a stock stage 3 Rouche right?

How bout a Viper RT10 oh man thats a fun ride!

I think its the 2006 corvette Z06, its like 202 or 205 mph, and in top speed the z06 will tear a viper a new assh0le

I'm pretty sure the GT 500 by ford is a production car, which is faster than a corvette zo6

Our 2006 GTO is pretty good at 400hp. We have waxed a few Mustangs and many ricecars. The CTS-V Cadillac with over 450hp its a pretty darn fast production car too. And these cars are a lot cheaper then the GT40 let me tell ya.
