Fastest Cars In The World - Best 0-60 And Top MPH
Fastest street cars maybe, but there are faster "cars" ...

Land speed record: the 18 fastest cars in the world and their drivers

Thrust SSC (760.343mph) ... more than double what the "slow" Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (330mph) can do. :)

U-Haul truck? WTF does that even mean?
I can't even remember a time when U-Haul trucks came in manual.
Irrelevant!

Not really irrelevant since there was no time frame on the question. Reading the page for that choice, the person apparently had a big U-Haul truck booked, but the booking got lost and as a replacement they were given a larger, but old 1980's manual, truck instead - that's the one they are complaining about.
