SSC Ultimate Aero
I know that people like us, passionate about fine sports cars such as the 930, can share the enthusiam that this American built car is bringing to the market. I think it's still listed as the fastest car on earth, and completed just a couple years ago by a company based in south-central Washington State (about a hundred miles from where I live).
The video isn't the best, but still that car is quite a sight. Twin turbo V8 and over 1100 hp turning 257 mph is one mean road legal car. The road they tested on is alongside the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. I always drive fast through there to minimize my exposure to background radiation (that's my built-in excuse in case I'm stopped). YouTube - SSC Ultimate Aero - A BusinessWeek Exclusive

Would be great to see a proper test on the car, i wonder how reliable it will be? It's clearly very quick!

It looks like a kit car version of a Diablo, a bad one.

Hey guys,
I watched an entire 1/2 hour TV segment on this car, covering both design & build. I have also seen one in person (All red with no black on the hood). This thing is nice, the engineering is top notch, the fit & finish both inside & out, is very well done. The car was at a local speed shop, but there was nobody there to talk to about it, so I have no other info regarding it. However, this is NO kit car, this is one serious car. I would buy one in a heartbeat if money was no concern. I wonder if I could get it painted with radar absorbing paint? Mark

Ok,Ok,Ok....maybe a cloaking devise then......I mean there is no way I could maintain any semblance of responsibility with this thing, I'm already a pain in the a** with my slow 930.
What the he** would I be like with 1100HP & 250+ top speed. How long do you stay in jail for going 250+ on the street anyway??? Mark
