Did he really have to say "gobble"?
It made me feel retarded to listen to him say that word, not once, but twice.

I'd have sex with that car.

Utterly amazing. 256 MPH, 9 sec 1/4 mile and emissions legal. How does that pass emissions is the only question I would have. Hell there are 450 HP cars that won't come close to passing. I guess the turbos help with the idle and low RPM emissions but don't manufacturers have to certify a car at higher RPM's as well to get the stamp of approval. Just curious. Nice *** car nonetheless.

He said "NASA said It's aero stable up to 270 mph"... Do they make a 300mph speedo?!

If you just compare acceleration/top speed then the SSC Ultimate Aero wins. However, if you consider all other factors (luxury, ride quality, safety, reliability, etc., etc.) then the Veyron wins hands down.

I think its crazy that not only did it beat the record but also it beat it in half the distance as the Veyron because I believe the Veyron had 5 miles of road as oppose to 2.5 for the SSC. Take that baby out to the salt flats in UT.
