America's Fastest Car

http://www.sscautos.com/graphics/hp_topimage0.jpg

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... :shock:

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.

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