The question I would be asking if it's cheaper than the Veyron?

less than half of a veyron

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSC_Aero

Also it takes about 5 million dollars to produce a veyron while they sell it for less than 2 million so they take a loss on everyone they sell. I dont think any production car cost can match a veyron.

What are you smoking? So you are saying Bugatti loses $3 million on every car they sell?

Quoted from Wikipedia, regarding the $5 million production cost:
This is not the price to produce one vehicle, but rather the cost of the entire Veyron project divided by the number of vehicles produced at that time.
So the $5 mil per vehicle cost includes marketing, assembly equipment, workers, design/testing, etc.

That is a mean-looking car. Glad an American company took the title of WFPC back.

Amazing speed and power, but how does it handle? It does not look that great, though.
