Default ssc ultimate aero

I know its in the wrong section, but this is where i first read about it. I got a call from my mom today asking if Lambroghini made a car called the "Aero" i said no Explained to her that it was the new fastest car in the world. yadda yadda yadda. well she said, " o cool, there is one at my work"............................................. .......(Pics and Videos being uploaded this minute)

To say the least i Whipped my car around(was on the way to get gaskets for my motor) to see if it was an Audi TT or something lol....

Why do you hate this car sooo much? I think its Great that an american car can finally compete with the supercars of the world. I mean its a V8 TT with ~1200 HP.... It takes the Veyron a W16 and 4 turbos 1001 with 4 radiators and 4 intercoolers..( yes im sure more time went into the veyron ) I agree the Veyron is probably more hightech/BETTER MADE BUT no reason to hate a car that deserves credit(The fastest car in the world). and yeah i was pretty excited to see it...

Wikopedia " The Aero and the Shelby Super Cars company are the brainchildren of Jerod Shelby, who spent over seven years designing the car. Only twenty-five Aeros are to be produced"

It's very fast for a car with no power steering/traction control etc. It seems to be very well balanced and puts it's power down very effectively. That alone is a big technical achievement. That's like having a 1,200hp turbo V8 in a Classic Mustang....good luck getting it to put THAT power down.

I havnt researched it much, But i know it has a mid 2sec 0-60. Dunno about 1/4 prolly a slouch cause the Gearing is ALL TOP END!! lol.. I would rather not have Traction(yea i know my car is not 1200hp)
