Re: SSC Ultimate Aero set to go after "world's fastest car" title

Long live the Veyron.

The Veyron is a Concorde moment in motoring history. This SSC thingy is just a wannabe. What's more, the Veyron is a road-going Concorde you can use it everyday and best of all, it always stays in control. This thing may be more powerful than the Veyron, but it's rear-wheel-drive and that means, that while the Veyron stays controlled thanks to four-wheel-drive, the SSC would be like a Helicopter without the rear rotor. And actually, looking at the SSC you just know it's not aerodynamic enough to keep it on the floor at 273 Mph.
