Bugatti dethroned

SSC sets the new world record for top speed production car
http://www.leftlanenews.com/ssc-sets...ed-record.html

I posted this here though is because of one of the comments on the page.

"
But can it hold a candle to the mighty Z06, the only respected supercar out there? Otherwise it's just another designers wetdream and a waste of bandwidth.

LOL what the hell? Ok Z06 is a beast and can destroy 99% of evos out there, but... Seriously... It's up against a 2750lb mid-engine supercar with 1200 horsepower.... PUH-LEEASE

What's that guy thinking?

I'll still take the Veyron over this car. Veyron is design to go really fast, while still maintaining the luxury side as well.

The Aero is 2700lbs and from what I read it gets about 18/26 mpg. That's about 1600lbs lighter than the Veyron with about 150 more HP.

Sweet, I've always wondered how fast that thing would be. Gotta love that it did it with a small cube V8 and only 2 turbos.

Haha, its got Ford Focus headlights...

that is awesome. It said Shelby supercars, was it created by the man himself? Or just funded maybe?

It looks a bit like the Koenigsegg ... fast car none the less. I'm a VW fan, so I'd take the Veyron ... Quad turbo W-16 FTW!
