Well i think its the american way.Its a pity,you are all like Bush.Open your minds.
You are comparing US cars with European.You dont have a change.We dont make cars like toasters.
But is a diferent way of thinking,and its good.
Yeap. You only need to drive under your US speed limit,for that this car is just fine.
I disagree on many things that JC says but in others he is totaly right.
Drive safely.

^ What's the American way? I'm going to assume you mean "winning"
This car is also just fine for setting speed records on what is normally used as a public road. It's a good contrast to the Veyron's runs in the controlled environment of the test track.

It can lap a road course as well.

I'm still waiting for you to substiate your argument as to why this car is oh so inferior.
Is it the engineering marvel that the Veyron is? No, of course not. Is it quicker and faster? Yes. Is it lighter? Yes. It's just a different approach and it works better for achieving performance numbers. The Veyron is about power and prestige whereas the SSC is a more performance oriented underdog that took on the Veyron and won.

Yes the Veyron its much heavier,expensive but it can do bends like no others.And its well built,better design.Its a masterpiece,and you are comparing with a kitcar.

"Strawman" arguments make you look stupid.
I have done traveling around the world, and will continue to do so.
Have you ever stopped to think that you are the one who has to understand other's cultures?
In anycase, this has gone away from the topic at hand.
What is it you know that we don't know that shows the SSC Ultimate Aero is engineered poorly?
Otherwise, STFU
