CAR BRANDS

[Napoléon]

Also, Let's all keep in mind that an american car is the fastest car in the world. The Hennessy Venom GT is made in texas and beat the Bugatti by .63 mph

Not that this shit even has any bearing on how good a car is but...

It's based off a Lotus Exige. British car.

It's assembled and tested in England. Could technically say, it's English made.

To call this car "American" is a joke, frankly. And no, it's definitely fucking not, made in Texas. So quit the bollocks.

Look at the list of fastest production cars and tell me how many American cars you see there.

Also, just to be pedantic:

In 2014, a Hennessey Venom GT was recorded as exceeding 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h), but as the run was in one direction only, and only 16 cars out of a planned total of 29 have been sold, it does not qualify under the Guinness Book of Records or this list's criteria as the worlds fastest production car.

I don't know, I think Tesla could make it's case against nearly every one of those manufacturers. (To be fair, Fiat has only owned Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge for a couple of years...)

I like Tesla but no fucking way in hell are they comparing to Lamborghini's, Bugatti's, Ferrari's, Porsche's or Alfa Romeo's. No car nut will ever put them in the same league. Why? Passion. Flair. History. Tesla just doesn't have that I'm afraid. Tesla is a different approach and has it's own great attributes, but they're totally different companies. Hell, Tesla is different to most every other car manufacturer out there, which is simultaneously it's biggest plus but also, in my opinion, detrimental when you want to compare because I don't think they can be.
