Thread: America's Fastest Car

  1. #1

    Default America's Fastest Car



    I had never even heard of this thing. The SCC Aero, from a new American sports car manufacturer. The quoted figures seem very suspect, but still...

    Aero
    HP: 787 bhp @ 6600 rpm
    Torque: 736 lb./ft @ 5800 rpm
    Dry Weight: 2,850 lbs.
    Top Speed: 236 mph

    Ultimate Aero
    HP: 1,046 bhp @ 6950 rpm
    Torque: 821 lb./ft. @ 6200 rpm
    Dry Weight: 2,640 lbs.
    Top Speed: Up to 273 mph
    (per Langley wind tunnel calculations)

    It does look like they've done a lot of actual testing...

    Anyone else bother to figure out what SSC stood for? I realize you can't trademark a common last name, but geez... seems like asking to get sued.
    Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org

    If you even care how much, you can't afford to pay.
