The SSC Ultimate Aero takes the 255.83 mph cookie

Its like an acronym for Swedish Airplain Engineers or something along those lines. But nothing of them is swedish built now days, its off other of GM's Euro and American platforms.

Well Ill tell you what, Clarkson loves the GMC Typhoon. And thats no lie, he likes a turbo charged American SUV from the early 90s... Ill post the video

Darn.. Koenigsegg is the only Swedish thing that's still Swedish.. Swedish fish are made in Canada these days, and we're'n't even Swedish to begin with..

Oh, well, at least we have the prettiest/hottest/most-beautifulest/hottest chicks in the world. You can't beat that.. Well, you can actually (litterally) beat that, or beat to it...

[texan_idiot25]

But they are mighty tastey .

Thats debatable sweed, very debatable.. Texas is where it's at. Noturday will back me on that one.

But, at any rate, you and me are (as usual) getting totally off topic, haha..

Texas? Big ______ed Blondes is... Well, I can't comment on that, my country is Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes... and they have 'stuff'...

Okay, back on the topic of why European cars are superior in every single way (except sucking).

[texan_idiot25]

More of them are natural than the FLA has...

Back on topic, of how come just about all British car companies either failed or had to be bought over to survive? How the Swedes went to just one swedish car company? Whos car was powered by a ford motor (though, as seen in Gumball rally, it has crappy reliability due to that motor) Oh right.

[xmodzracer]

ok yes it is faster...but the bugatti is the fastest PRODUCTION car so it still holds the record. but imo this one is better

[gt42r]

thats nice, but too expensive for me. id take the 4cyl. mivec 4g63 evo 9 mr. cheaper and fast enough. also great for daily too.

how is a plastic water pump impeller superior to a cast iron or stamped steel one?

heres the report about it

[taiwanesekid05]

reading first posts isn't my strong point either...
all you hear in the video is vvvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVV rerrnnnn..... but very zoom zoom in my case.
hey, did anyone happen to read the article in Motor Trend about the science of speed with danica patrick?

[texan_idiot25]

Then dont bother posting Chinesekid, your useless banter is not needed.

Offtopic, and the one where she complains that a 7L V8 does not have much low-end torque? Right...

It weighs less, and as every racer know's, every non-cosmetic once makes your car go 20mph faster! and stickers will add another 14% speed for every non-cosemetic mod, and 15% for every cosmetic mod, and the basic law of racing: "The more stickers on said car, the faster said car will go."

Texan, all natural isn't allways a good thing.. Hair?

heh heh... sorry. i don't really remember much of the article in the fact that i only read it once, but i do remember that she was comlaining that most of the cars would go fart after 5th gear. but it's an intersting article overall.

[jimmythekid1]

i watched Danica get second place at the detroit grand prix a few week ends ago. It was a really good race. Only 8 of 18 cars finished.

[xmodificationer]

jeez no one needs almost 1200hp and 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, but yes people just want it to show off....i think everyone would...

[taiwanesekid05]

it's all about bragging rights. most people say used to say that the veryon was the fastest production car, giving bugatti a good name. now, with the SSC ultimate areo taking the title, all bugatti has is that their car is the most expensive.

[texan_idiot25]

The Bugatti was an unlimited budget, show-off mobile. Their speed was claimed on perfect race ways.

The SSC was built by an independent company, with what they had on hand. Their able to best the Veyron in real world streets and conditions with out the use of 16 cylinders, 4 turbos, and multitudes of coolers. Its half the weight, and more than half the cost.

It hauls ***, and can more than likely best the Bugatti in the corners. Even Lotus's can beat Bugattis in tighter courses.

Its a drivers' hyper-car.
