The world's fastest car is a modded Ford GT which completed the Texas Mile at 263.3mph.
Think about that for a second. The Veyron cannot go that fast, and it cannot reach it's top speed in 1 mile. American muscle FTW.
I think American's should be proud - the Europeans are arrogant. They think they build the best cars, but pound for pound (or rather dollar for dollar) - the best cars are made in North America.
