Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fastest production car (2nd nomination)
This is one of those  cases that crop up now and then when dealing with lists. The main red flag is that there isn't an overall reliable source that unequivocally states that this is THE true and correct progression of the production car land speed record. Except for the last few entries referencing Guinness World Records, each entry on the list has a reference pointing to itself only, there is no overall source summarising the lists contents. This by itself isn't ALWAYS a problem; with some lists there is a clear and unambiguous means of determining which entries qualify even without an overall source. This is not the case with this list. How do you know for sure that there are no entries missing? You can't, because there IS no way to know without doing |original research. The quality of some of the sources are marginal at best. The McLaren F1 source (surely one of the easiest cars on the list to verify?) references a user website rather than a reputable car publication, which is not acceptable for an encyclopedia. Neither the early Bentleys, nor the Pegaso, nor the Ferrari 410 Spider contain the claim on their respective pages that they are the fastest in the world. At this point I stopped bothering to look through the rest of them because a clear pattern emerges. (Also, at least two of the sources - hypertextbook and supercars.net - won't load for me.) Taken in totality and on closer examination, this looks more and more like someone has cobbled together top speeds of different cars from many different sources and stitched together their best guesstimate of the progression of the production car land speed record. It is far beyond just synthesis and is original research. '''The fact is: almost NONE of the sources support the claim that that particular car was the fastest in the world at the time
