The Veyron is no longer the fastest car in the world....and neither is the Hennessey Viper.......at least not according to the Guiness Book of Records

The fastest car in the world title is held by the Ultimate Aero SSC TT - to meet that requirement you have to be completely stock and meet all the emissions & safety standards that an average production car has to meet. SSC stands for Shelby Super Cars, and it wasnt built by Carol Shelby.

http://www.ridelust.com/guinness-makes-it-official-ssc-ultimate-aero-is-the-worlds-fastest-production-car/

Not to mention, this car set the world record on a NORMAL highway....not on a track. 256.19 mph (beat the previous record by3 mph) He actually ran a 257 mph pass, but they average out two runs for the Guiness World record. This car also set the record on regular pump gas, no racing fuel.


Now imagine if this same car.....were to go get on the track in Germany and run that course that the Veyron ran on its record setting run....we might see a much higher speed time.

No one cares about a modded car.......because no matter how fast it is.....its still not a stock car...

Any idiot can mod a car to go really fast..

Even with Catalytic Converters, the Venom would still beat the Veyron.

The Ultimate Aero has a top speed of 273mph and the SECOND Faster is the Barabus TKR which has a top speed of 270mph. They have not hit the extreme speeds yet, like the book says its only 256, but both cars I listed thats what their top speeds should be around, the 1000hp viper is 3rd fastest in the world, the bugatti is 4th. 1988 Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer does 254mph top speed.

You obviously still dont get it.......the Aero ran a world record run on a NORMAL highway. The runs the Viper has been making has been on a track. BIG DIFFERENCE. Not to mention, the Aero is a production car, the Hennessey Viper is a modded car....

Continue with your mis-information...because its just making you look foolish...

[font=arial][size=2]And the Aero's time is 256.19 not 255....
