Then, one by one, Petrik undraped the truly fast cars in each national category, starting with the American champion, the Hennessey Venom, a 650-hp upgrading of the Dodge Viper, clocked at over 200 mph in a road test.

With all the twin turbo and other modified cars this one gets the top bill? True?
