The SSC is such an ugly car. like an ugly version of a lamborghini diablo.

 

agreed..

 

Ive never even heard of that car......and no its not too great looking. Its as though it cant decide which super car body it wants to steal.

glad its back to being an American title, but who knows for how long. This should get very interesting with the Aero TT being capable of more, Bugatti revamping the Veyron, the new Koennigseggs and McLaren reportedly working on a new car to after the title again. They most likely will run out of road before they settle this..lol

 

While attending the Italian Car show at Pocono Raceway a few years ago, I had the chance to see this car in action. While it may not be the most prettiest thing around, it is ****ing fast!!! It was running circles around the cars on Pocono's speedway. It stayed at the bottom of the straight part of the track, for testing, while the Ferrari/Lambo/Pantera owners had the upper part of the straightaways. It had to be doing close to 180, I kid you not (I went for a few laps in a Murcielago, and Balboni, the Lambo test driver got the car to 175 in the front straight, so I know what speed is). Its an impressive car.
