Well done to them for being a independent company taking on the big boys, and I look forward to hearing more about this 220MPH Sedan he mentioned, but I'm not a fan of the typical American mindset that is the best way to crack a nut is to use a Sledgehammer. Yes this thing might be faster, but I'd rather be in the Veyron at 250MPH, even if I was going 7MPH slower.

I also seem to remember that the Veyron is electronically limited to it's top speed....

I can't see the link on my phone but im 99 precent sure you are talking about the Shelby SuperCars Ultimate Areo. Correct?
The shelby actually has reached speeds of around 270mph but to be an official record it has to go one direction then the opposite direction and they average the two.
I think there company page is called shelbysupercars.com

The bugatti is limited....its called not enough hp, not areodynamic enough, and its too fucking ugly.

a cD of .357 is actually pretty damn high. Only slightly lower than that of the Veyron's (.36 with wing down and in lowered position - .41 with wing in "attack" mode).

Compared to the Koenigsegg CCR which has a cD of .297, and the new CCX, which supposedly has a drag of .277.

I'm pretty sure that SSC is using the DART billet block, as seen in this guy's build: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1948784


Me personally, i think the front is fucking hideous. Lord it's ugly. The front windows are straight from a diablo, but the back half is nice. Its just.... piss poor american styling as usual. That being said.........

I'm working on getting a private photoshoot setup there for next spring :) It might be ugly, but its still damn cool and impressive!

I come from a land down under
I just think the Bugg would be more civilised in the real world and make a better all rounder ;) (the chances of coming up against the SSC with room enough to get to top speed where it may or may not out run you would be slim to none)

thats badass.

but it sounds like it has compressor surge or something, i hear the turbos spool, and then the 'chug chug chug' sound from them... lol

but yeah, the HP gauge was pretty cool.
couldnt help but miss the MAJOR point on it being AMERICAN....
