Love the fact that it's American.

I believe this car has a faster top speed than the Bugatti Veryon Supersport. I'd love to see it run at the VW Testing Facility in Germany as they did with the Bugatti Veryon SS.

Not according to Guinness...

SSC = 256.18
Veyron SS = 267.856 as of 6/26/10

It had a higher top speed than the Veyron. I think its theoretical limit is 273 (which is higher than the latest version of the Veyron) but they've never been able to find a place to test it out

That's why I mentioned the VW Testing Facility - what a race that would be. I would bet an invitation would never be offered by VW since they're tied to Bugatti.

Anyway, without seeing these monsters run together the next best thing is to run the calculations on both in similar conditions. NOTE: The SSC attains is top speed in just over 1 mile (Bad Azz) where the Bugatti needs 5 miles to top out and both cars are Gear Limited based on the specs I've located.

With the power to weight advantage going to the SSC Ultimate Aero - it takes the win. Go USA!!!!!!
