Love the 11-1 BUST of DD. Ok for a Cobalt, but not okay for anything with a real motor.

I don't get how a tuner gets a production record either. The Veyron is just so far ahead of everything.

SSC Aero is in my home state though (about 150 miles from here), but it bugs me because I know those are Hanford engineers who are bored of their 250k a year jobs "cleaning" the site, so they go make exotics for fun. Your tax dollars at work!

Does anyone else think that before the Daimler/Chrysler breakup, Mercedes just stole a Dodge Viper to serve as the basis for their new super car?

I can just here it now: "Who needs McLaren! We'll just just pimp out this Viper we nicked. Come on - no one really expects us to come up with anything that good anyway. And there will ALWAYS be morons to buy our junk. Hell, we could put four wheels and badge on a giant turd and someone would still pay us huge bucks for it!"

Good one FLD, lol. Nice to see DD punished for his bad driving at the track last week. How about doing another series of shows based on "Derek D goes to a Performance driving school". Good idea huh?
P.S. Can we see more of Alex and Carrie this week?

Looks like that SLC poached a bit of Viper design from the erstwhile DCX conglomeration.

hahahah that was awesome, cant believe u guys put that comment on blast, its about time! lol funny. anyways i'm a lil suprised that the 9FF is even up for a prodution car speed record, i didnt think something that was tunned could do that.

These cars - the 9FF, SSC and the like have one thing in common, all have no credibility, presence and are butt ugly plus mostly tuners compared to the Bugatti Veyron which is a production supercar and has all those outstanding qualities just mentioned.
That ain't the new Merc supercar clip, it's a cloaked Viper did you guys get this wrong?

Porsche needs to step off the SSC and Veyron. They just need to face the facts and realize they'll never be number one again. Not with a Flat Six anyway.
