Shelby SuperCars (SSC) is an American manufacturer of supercars founded in 1998 by Jerod Shelby. The company is known for the Ultimate Aero TT; equipped with a twin turbocharged V8 which produces 1,287bhp (960kW) this car beat the Bugatti Veyron as the world’s most powerful production car. On September 13, 2007 the Ultimate Aero was clocked at 414km/h (257mph), resulting in the title of fastest production car in the world. This record has been reclaimed by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
SSC has developed a new car which should take the title once more.
It’s called the Tuatara, a foppish pronunciation of Twitter. Who knows why? 
1000hp ??? that’s a large aeroplane engine.
Is the design marvel that achievement.
Ever seen a car with a merlin engine?
Did they record this in a toilet bowl?
Who the hell are FOX news calling tiny island nation.

#40–Theone==there are so many aspects of cars, each valuable on its own, all coming together:
1. The look/art of the car
2. The mechanics
3. The fun of driving it
4. Performance, often at the cost of reliability?
5. Ease of maintenance
6. Utility
7. Mileage/cost per mile
come right to mind. As a kiddie, I wanted to go under the hood and see how everything worked. Today, I’d be happy if everything was a sealed unit–which they basically are. Damn things are so complicated now you can’t even change the oil without special tools.
Pro’s and Con’s to all we do.
’round here, even the Interstates are a maximum 70 MPH. Generally though, people drive up to 9 MPH faster. Every once in a while, they get a cop in the air or overpasses to time drivers and WOW, do they get caught then !!!
My favorite was a ’72 Capri with a 2.6 V6. My buddy did a few tricks with the carb and distributor and that sucker got quick.
Alas, it tangled with a ’85 Buick in ’1986 during a snowstorm. The Buick won. My replacement ’77 Capri just wasn’t the same.
Wow, that is AMAZING!
