SSC Ultimate Aero
Car News, Videos — By Des on December 4, 2005 at 10:15 pm — 162 CommentsThe SSC Ultimate Aero scored a stunning number one position in the recent ‘Fastest American Car’ list of Forbes magazine. This list was based on topspeeds of factory-assembled vehicles by American manufacturers.
The SSC Ultimate Aero is one of the fastest cars to look forward to next year. The Ultimate Aero has a huge 1046 HP V8 engine. With the car weighing as much as a VW New Beetle that’s a guaranty for great performance. Talking about performance, SSC says the Ultimate Aero can reach speeds up to 273 mph based on Langley windtunnel calculations. A spokesperson of SSC wrote to Forbes that they did steady speeds of around 210 mph at a famous NASCAR track in Pennsylvania called Pocono with the Ultimate Aero. The question remains how well it handles. SSC plans to sell about 25 of these monsters worldwide.

u know wat just stp it is the fastest car but its not the fast land moveing vehical the ssc thrust is but the ssc ultimate is the fastest car and thats it nothing else is faster ok they made a test and they said it was
and u can say stuff in the future if they make a faster car sheesh every1 fights for everything
i like this car its cool and i wat to have 1 but i cant
I think that you all should stop arguing over this and admit to the fact that it is the fastest car in the world today, but that does not demote all of the other cool car brands in the world.
The “Brits” have allot to say about American cars, what have they built that they can be proud of? Also when are you idiots going to get with the rest of the world and drive on the correct (Right) side of the road? And when will you stop butchering the English Language? Bonnet (Hood), Boot (trunk), Saloon (Sedan), Mum (Mom), I’m no scholar but when I watch you Brits on the TV (not Tele) I can barely understand every other word you say, so your opinions mean nothing as far as Iâm concerned. Anyway, I have a 2009 CTS-V and I love it, when I watched that Homo with the Permed hairdo and screwed up teeth (Jeremy Clarkson) on TOP QUEER complaining about a âbonging
It’s all down to personal opinion in the end…
Fast american cars are “poor attempts?” It’s the fastest production car in the world. How on earth is that a “poor attempt?”
you all have to realize that kor4 is just looking to start trouble. he KNOWS good and well about the nurburgring times. supercars.net has them as well. i have lived in europe, and i can tell you they too have a lot of junk. rover, mg, citroen, fiat, peugeot, renault, etc. when comparing cars for the common people (under $50,000), american cars hold their own now in terms of quality and reliability. european affrodable cars leave a lot to be desired. i love ALL cars, and i hate the outright bias of kor4. he will NEVER AGREE on facts or look them up, because he knows that we make a valid point. europeans and their fans love to dog the big three automakers. what is worse is they compare a 25k chevy malibu to a 525i bmw! no way. besides, most europeans either don’t own a car or they have very small compacts. it is the rich and the upper classes that drive the pricey cars. people talk as if they ALL drive bmws and mercedes. please. TO KOR4, i own a 2008 Z06. it is fast, affordable, easy to maintain, and is upgradable. 6,383 miles and NO problems! did you know that koenigsegg used FORD V8′S?? HMMM. now they have their own. bristol fighter uses a VIPER ENGINE. the ultima gtr uses an american engine. the de thomaso pantera uses a 351 ford. the noble m12 and m4oo have FORD DURATEC engines? no? so does the new m15! what does that say about european cars??? i have more companies that uses american iron if you need more.
Please do not start and insult each other!
Thanks
