    You really gotta define "car."

    The Thurst SSC has the official record, but it has more in common with the Concorde SST than a family sedan. It's practically a twin-engine fighter jet without wings...

    World-class top fuel dragsters will do over 300 mph - and get there in under 5 seconds - but I don't consider them "cars" either.

    I imagine someone out there has taken a NASCAR chassis and powerplant and added turn signals, wipers, headlights and bumpers - does that count?

    An SR-71 Blackbird is "automotive" in that it moves (is "motive") under its own power ("auto") and it goes Mach 3+.

    I hope you get the answer you are looking for, but I think you did not adequately define the class.
