You're the dumbass if you're judging a motor based on the number of cylinders it has. There are company demo Veyrons with some 20,000+ miles on them, most of them doing high speed runs. 20,000+ miles without any engine/transmission rebuilds. Lets see the SSC do even 10,000 miles without some significant mechanical problem coming up.

RE: Ultimate Aero TT
I just noticed the SSC 1/4 mile time is 9.9s@144mph. So it would be fair to say that 0-144mph is 9.9s. So that extra ~180hp, ~100lbft, and ~1500lbs less weight still isn't enough to outrun the Veyron from 0-150. They Veyron will do 150 in 9.8s. The Veyron's brakes are more advanced. Granted they both have similar 60-0 stopping distances, the fact that the Veyron has so much more weight to stop proves that the brakes are more effective, high speed braking would be a moot point. The Veyrons 0-100-0 time is almost 2 seconds better than the Aero.

They wanted the Aero to break bugatti's record and it did, for a fraction of the cost. Job well done. They wern't trying to make a better all around car, if it was it would costs >1.6 million.

^ exactly 1/3 of the production cost and beats the veryon, and brakes at over 100mph is useless, if you have to stop from 200mph, really fast your gonna die, it doesnt matter your going to die.

Wait, this thing costs 600K?!?!?!?!?!? Are you serious???!! Wow, that's ridiculous. I'm sorry, but this car just completely pails in comparison to the Carrera GT, Sallen S7, and others that occupy the upper-echelons of the supercar world....

This car was built for somone who wants top speed. And its not really ment to be compared with the veyron, as the veyron cost so much more.

people buy supercars for different reasons. If you want to stand out with styling you can get somthing like a lamborghini. If you want somthing that accelrates well you can get a koinsieggioeseggioensegg ccx. If you want somthing that handles great you can get a Ferrari.

The Veyron was intended to dominate in everycategory, which it does. Now that a car has come out, witha marginally higher top speed, everyone automatically assumes that this new car must completely overshadow the Veyron. It's higher speed and lower price come at a cost; decreased reliability, and decreased driveability.
