Wow, that's quite an impressive car there!
It's so far out of my range it's not even funny of course, but it's always good fun to see a real gearhead/madman make an insane project like this come true 
Mr Shelby came across as a real nice guy, and I really have to check out Jays Garage more, I've only really seen him on his tonight show but his motor interest really outshadows his funny side (and I mean that in a very positive way).

Well, I will give Jay credit for being nice to the owner while he's standing in front of him about his car. But he owns a Veyron and not one of these which goes to show his real stance on the car.
There have only been 7 Aero's delivered to customers thus far. Only 50 are supposed to be built.
221 Veryrons Have been delivered to their customers. 500 are supposed to be built.
I still maintain that the Veyron is a far better built, better quality hyper car that accomplishes a lot more achievements for a road car of it's capabilities.
It's more civilized, the interior is of the most luxurious you'll find in any car on the road. The ride quality is also like a luxury car when in normal road mode. The power is manageable by anyone because it has TC and ABS (on the E-brake no less!)
Most of all it's the most stable road car at top speed. 253 mph feels like 60. And it can corner and it can drift with the TC off as tiff needel demonstrated.
Ok I'm done, I just think the veyron is a phenomenal engineering achievement. Anyone with the funds and strap a stable power source to a aero dynamic chassis and make it go fast. It's a different story entirely to make that thing civilized.
If you want pure speed, ask a racing team to take race car to detune it for the street.

The veyron is boring and overrated.

i aknowledge the car for what it has reached, but i just can't agree on the front end styling. the rest looks great. though they should have but a nice badge on the steering wheel, maybe that would have been a nicer finishing touch
