Just read that SSC ( ShelbySuperCars) TuaTara hit 331.15 MPH on closed Nevada highway # 160 over the weekend. Engine puts out 1,750 HP with E85 gasoline! Now that's movin'!

It looks better than the corvette, but still too round, oh thats right, its a ford!

You can pick one up for around $2,000,000

Ok, I let my secretary get the ball rolling! as you know, today's million is like yesterday's hundred thousand.
But seriously, is it practical to have a 380 mile/h car on the road. Anything over 70 is gonna get you in trouble. And, And.... How long does it take o get to 380. Something going from zero to 70 in 2 seconds is probably more fun and practical for the intended user of a production car!?

Practicality has nothing to do with cars like this. You probably won't see one in the WalMart parking lot. What they are is a form of a d**k measuring contest for the ultra rich.

Hehe, For Sure...., but a Benz is a better representative of d**k measurement.
My humble opinion, the super rich have more sense, they buy cars that COULD be perceived as a high price tag item, not a novelty
