Hey D_Run, you guys in Sweden can keep it. To survive in the USA, it has to be fast AND sexy.
I can't speak for you guys, but I'm not laying up with a fat chick, even if she gives better head than any other broad in the world.
PS- my 1987 Porsche 924 wants its wheels back, and that is the ugliest NSX I have ever seen.

388 kilometer/hour = 241.0920226 mile/hour (mph)
And with no power adders, they followed in McLarens foot steps...but they're roughly 8 years behind and 1mph faster lol.
I like the way it looks and sounds personally.

I'm really glad that someone posted that info about the McLaren . The Koenigxxxxx is a very impressive car (performance #'s) for the price which is roughly half of the Big Mac . Amazingly it was developed by a young Swedish engineer of the same name with the help of the Swedish Gov't . I still believe it will be a long time before anyone outdoes McLaren with the F1 Supercar . I don't know why they stopped making them , around 300 proposed and built 120 or 150 . McLaren gets them back for maintenence and they have lots of miles on them , people actually drive these $1,000,000 + cars .

who cares about top speed...definatley not Ferarri. The enzo tops out at approx 217mph at redline of top gear, but if they wanted to reconfigure the gearbox the car has the power, aerodynamics, and downforce to run around 288mph but that's not what Ferarri builds cars for. i still like the Enzo best, and even more reasonably the F430

the SCC Aero SC/8T was designed to go after the mclarens record (now the koeniggseggs i guess)
its a supercharged v8.
2720lbs , 908hp 771tq.... thats a 2.9lbs per hp, 3.5lbs per tq
in comparison, the koeniggsegg is 3.2lbs per hp and 3.8lbs per tq.
the mclaren is 4lbs per hp, and 5.5lbs per tq.
the SCC is obviously way more powerful..........the aerodynamics will determine whether it beats the koeniggseggs record.

and i didn't know the CC was supercharged, i'm afraid to go on spec sites, i usually come out with 6 viruses and spy-ware out the *** lol and their site didn't help any
Guess they get the title if the McLaren is discontinued =/ McLaren is by far my favorite super car, N/A v-12 BMW. If need be, put superchargers on it and it's back up at the top of the food chain....awesome car. And not because it's the fastest and blah blah, it's over all an amazing car.
I was hoping Cadillac would do something with that stealth fighter lookin' Cien.
and no discrimination here, i'll take any of them...lol
