SSC is an ugly plastic kit car, no deal.
does anyone know how many have been sold?

The CCR broke the McLaren F1's record of a speed 231 mph with first a speed of 238 mph and then 241 mph a little later, with only close to 700 hp. It was done on a short track, 2 miles shorter than the track the F1 used and they calculated that if the CCR would have made it's run on the same track as the F1, it should have easily broken 250 mph. A couple of months later the Veyron broke the CCR's record with 254 on the same track that the F1's record was set on. Now the CCXR is lighter, more aerodynamic and of course way more powerful than the CCR and has yet to be taken to the Nardo loop where the F1, the Veyron and the SSC set there records. But needless to say given the horsepower increase alone, it should smash the SSC record. Now I have heard that the SSC can be tuned to over 1100 Hp, but I don't think it would run that long tuned that way. Nor could it sustain such power levels boosting the way it would need to and carry those speeds and hold them over and over and over again non stop around the track as the Veyron and the F1 and the CCXR were designed to do. To my knowledge SSC hasn't sold ten of it's cars yet, so calling it production is like calling the Mosler a production car which is just a barely street legal race car. Anyone can pull the power that SSC is claiming it can pull out of it's cars. There are Ford blocks putting out 3000 hp but they can only do it just barely long enough to run a 1/4 mile let alone run 240, 250, over a hundred miles, non-stop except to refuel, which I know for a fact the Veyron has been confirmed seen testing at those speeds at the Audi proving ground and the Koenigsegg has been confirmed testing the CCXR at those speeds for over 100 miles several times in the same car. And to date, Not one of Koenigseggs engines have broken with all of their cars sold to date. Not one. And last but not least, the SCC's design is a straight rip off the Lamborghini Diablo and a bad rip at that. I mean it's almost as hideous as the Lister Storm. Not quite, but close.

That's just about the worst insult to this car possible, as you're not only implying that it'll explode into a ball of flames thanks to faulty ignition, but you're calling a Chevy practically a Ford?
What's wrong with Gay Homo? What did he/she/it do to you? Personally, I see nothing wrong with the British - at this point, I'm assuming you know what/where Britain is- being possessed by Gay Homo. Oh well, what can I expect from a person 6'2 in internet inches, meaning you are about 5'6-ish, I'd wager.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
A couple of corrections for terrorbyte73:
The Veyron and the F1 set their speed record on the german track of Ehra Lessien (Map - Google Sightseeing), property of VW.
The SSC set its record on a road in Washington, closed to traffic for the occasion.
No one uses Narḍ for high speed recorda as the banking is preventing the cars from reaching their actual top speed, hence the figure is either lower or achieved adjusting the speed reached by the car with a mathematical formula, which is something not everyone accept.
BTW, after the CCR set the record, a tuned 9ff 991 GT3 got the record at Narḍ, but the car was heavily stripped down, no mirrors, no wing, tape on the panels and so on.
To GO America!!!, just stfu.

Such speed figures are totally meaningless in the real world anyway.

Visca Catalunya!
Lol; this guy...
The SSC is a kit car; its basically bare-bones. No interior quality whatsoever (its a FORD, after all...right?). The thing had to be stripped naked just to compete against the heavy Bugatti Veyron; the luxury yacht on wheels. The veyron has FM/AM radio complete with a CD player as well as a crystal knob on the stick! Absolutely no compromise weight-wise! And for that "speed is boring on the Veyron" argument someone made...was he serious? As (almost) everyone agreed: Boring>Dead. I would want to be safe and stable (and listen to some smooth jazz or something; [not Kenny G, though] w/ my audio setup in my Veyron) while doing high speeds. I concentrate better (making sure the Veyron stays on the road) with the music on anyway.
Edit: How can homos be gay if they are, well...gay? Ther's no such thing as a "gay homo"; A Brit has to either be gay OR a homo, sir (both mean the same thing). By your logic, I assume that there are "gay heteros"?

Jazz or classical music for high speed driving = win.

Ok now your ****in pissing me off im no ****en joke pussy 6 FT 2 IN and actually if you were smart you would know that being able to fix something with a hammer isnt an insult, thats saying its easy to fix unlike the bugatti which would cost ****loads to even have an ispection done. and where the **** do you get Chevy out of SSC which stands for SHELBY SUPER CARS dumb**** and if your as stupid as you sound shelby is run by FORD!!!
Hey did you know that SSC comes with a Navigation System, 10-Speaker Premium Audio/CD/DVD System, 7.5" Video/DVD Screen, Automatic Back-Up Camera??? Doesnt sound like it was stripped naked does it? Oh wait theirs more it also has Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Power Mirrors, Tilt-Steering, Cab-Controlled Front Air Lift. and oh yeah it runs on Premium Unleaded - 91 Pump Octane... do your research next time dont just start talking about something you have no clue about.

i'm trembling in my boots here
okay you seem to like this car a lot right
so it would figure that you'd know it actually has nothing to do with Carol Shelby... it's a completely different company, there is no relation hahahaha.
also the engine is LS based LOL.
if anything, the koenigsegg has more ford parts sinceit's block is vaguely based off a ford modular V8 hahahahaha
yeah, and the veyron runs on fairy dust and good intentions haha.
