It’s fast, but not as fast or as good looking as the new American-built Shelby Supercars Ultimate Aero II.

275mph of pure beauty.

I love the Veyron. Possibly the best car ever built. Riding in one at 200mph is a dream. It does not feel like stuff is about to fall off and act like the car is about to disintegrate,

I read this in the old media on Sat. It's very well written -- perfectly matches the subject.

Gawd, can't imagine a ride like that. It's freaky.

The Super Sport can accelerate from highway speeds to more than 200 mph in the time it takes you to read this sentence out loud. Literally.

I once took a 1982 Honda Civic 1800 coupe up to 100mph with three other frat bros in the car and they had no idea we were going that fast. I got 40 mpg in that car most of the time.

220 is about as fast as you can go in free fall while in a complete nose-first dive. (below 10,000 ft.)

Actually, this is the new model that did 268mph. It is the SUPERSPORT version of the Veyron, which only did a paltry 230mph.

it was tested and was only the 5th fastest or lower on Top Gear. The only high is the price.
