  | Re: SSC Ultimate Aero Officially "World's Fastest Production Car" The fact that they had to close a 2 mile stretch of road just to achieve this shows how useless the top speed really is. I still stand by what I said in my first posr in this thread, nothing about this car interests me.

| Re: SSC Ultimate Aero Officially "World's Fastest Production Car" Yes, more than the SSC at least. Plus, VAG welcomes you to Ehra Lessien any time to try out the top speed. And you don't even have to put your own car on the line.

| Re: SSC Ultimate Aero Officially "World's Fastest Production Car" I don't think that it was going crazy fast in those pics since the driver is not wearing helmet...

Also the Veyron's theoretical top speed is 414 km/h (257 mph). With one extra gear it could probably do 280 mph (451 km/h).

| Re: SSC Ultimate Aero Officially "World's Fastest Production Car" http://jalopnik.com/cars/speed-record/guinness-verifies-shelby-supercars-production-speed-record-308310.php Sorry Bugatti. The dark-beer company that's been tracking the best, fastest and biggest -- ever since the company's managing director, Sir Hugh Beaver first argued over which was the fastest game bird in Europe -- Guinness World Records has verified the SSC Ultimate Aero as the "Fastest Production Car." As we reported recently, Driver Chuck Bigelow, 71, took SSC's Ultimate Aero for two passes on highway 221 in Washington state, the first at 257.45 mph, the second at 254.92 mph, for an official record speed of 256.19 mph. That supersedes the Bugatti Veyron's still-unofficial time of 254 mph, as noted by Car and Driver and Top Gear's James May. Will Bugatti respond, or will the time stand until Koenigsegg or McLaren get serious about taking a run at 270 with a new pair of cars? Watch for an arms race on a flat stretch of road near (or not so near) you.
