| New SSC Supercar
 
It should be officially announced next week and apparently they're aiming for 275mph and retake the top speed record from the Bugatti SS

I like how on SSC's website they said they "shattered" the top speed record when they hit 256.18mph beating the Veyron at 253.81mph, or a whopping 2.37mph faster.
So if 2.37mph faster could be considered "shattering" the world record, then what about the Veyron SS at 267.86mph to retake the record at 14.68mph faster than the SSC?
BTW, SSC claimed that in wind tunnel testing the SSC could "theoretically" hit 272mph. That's a far cry from the 256.18 they actually hit with the car.

Did you know how much more power/less drag the car needs to be able to pull off to get 2.37mph faster at those speeds?

God dammit, strap a jet engine to the back of a Mazda2, design it so that it DOES meet all regulations and safety requirement for it to be classified as a PRODUCTION vehicle and call it a day. Damn these cars being built ONLY for claiming the title of "Fastest Production Car". =_=

yes precisely the power of Veyron SS - power of Veyron and the Cd of Veyron minus that of Veyron SS.
It's still shattering records....

lol wut?
Way to miss the point.
If 2.37mph is "shattering" then what word would you use to describe 14.68mph?

You know what SSC stands for? Super Shitty Car.  . Kidding.
If this thing indeed goes faster than the Bugatti SS (which I doubt it will), you can be sure Bugatti will come back and bitchslap these guys.
If this car is anything like the Aero, which car would you rather be in at 275mph? I choose Bugatti.
