The SSC Ultimate Aero takes the 255.83 mph cookie
Whats this?? A twin turbo C5R powered 'murikan super car takes the worlds fastest title away from bugatti. Quote:

It looks like a Koenigsegg CCR on Saleen S7 child... But it's still american. And people will always take the european cars, cuase they're european. We've been in the race longer.. (Weren't cars from Germany, the otto-engine?) EDIT: But is it a production car like the Veyron and the CCX?

Sweed, what does: "World's Fastest Production Car" imply?
People will buy what ever has the biggest balls. Even if the car never is truelly opened up. Why else did bugatti sell the Vyron so quick? 1001HP, 4 turbos, and all its gadgets. But, it is back to a very simple super-car formula, unlike the overkill Bugatti. This car will have its sprint until the next car comes along. I dont see your point in that it beat the last record by a few MPH, thats how the record has been broken for quite some time, one guy edging past the other. Just remember, your Koenigsegg was powered by a ford motor for a long time

And still is ford-based if I remember right too.
Yeh, this car has been on sale for quite some time, about a year ago. Just yesterday did it make it's high speed run. Uses a Twin Turbo C5R Corvette race motor. That car has killed in the 24 Hour Le Mans, so you cant argue its not a strong or reliable motor. Especially when the C5R finished 1st and 2nd in it's class a time or two

I'm curious as to whats inside the cabin as far as ammenities go. the veyron is just as much a luxury car as it is a supercar. if this car is built like a street legal race car (ie no extras like ac, power steering, stereo, etc...) then it's feat seems slightly less spectacular compared to the bugatti's.
personally... i like the bugatti, it just oozes class and sophistication and it can outrun just about any "stock" car ever created. Except one. O well, sometimes second best isn't too bad either.

VW, BMW, Farrari, and Lamborgini must not be popular among old white guys or Rappers then?

VW defiantly not, they are for fatties, lezys and other freaky people. Old rich people buy new BMW's thats ok, but then they sell them used to hippies. Lambos and ferarris are for the elite rich and the occasional rapper.
I suppose I primarily meant Saab, VW, and Audi. |

VW makes some nice cars, I guess your not familiar with the Golf's, the GTi's, or the older Golf's, Polo's, or the Beatle's? Oh, and Farraris are also for people that are deep in debt.

yeah I forgot Volvo, I'm very familiar with VW, my shop is one of 3 in the greater Lansing, MI area that works on euros. I'm all to familur with VW with melted plastic water pump impellers and heads so warped you could use them as a balance board. The older motronic cars are ok. but can be very expensive to fix and few know how to tune them.

Saab now is about as Swedish as Brittany Spears is talented.
And to what I know, Top Gear has yet to track test the Bugatti, just that oval track run.
