Off the top of my head the only other production road car that could have or would have faster would have been the Ferrari Daytona. I think it was in the 165-170mph range. Do you want fastest US legal or just fastest world wide. With all of the things like emmission, bumper, headlight hight laws many of the european cars had a hard time getting fedrilized to comply with US regs

: I'll need to either change the title or at least make note of
: the issue.

: As I read some of the background materials, I wondered about the
: 200 MPH claim. Specifically, could a fresh motor, with no
: seasoning, perform at this level? Would a test driver take this
: sort of risk, before delivering a very expensive car to the
: customer?

: Would you agree with the "world's fastest production car
: (1975)" as a description? Which road car might have been
: faster, in early 1975? This might call for some research, over
: the weekend. I'm sure that, back in 1975, I had all the right
: magazines to answer this question, but -- against my wishes --
: these magazines are long gone!!
