Shelby Supercar

http://www.shelbysupercars.com/ultimate-aero.php
Move over Bugatti there's a new kid on the block. The Ultimate Aero is now the world's fastest. That is, until Shane's Vette is done.

long long story short
its a hooooooooooorible POS
not even up to kit car standards

I wouldnt blink an eye at going 250 in the Veyron....even if it looks like an eclipse
but I would NEVER go over 150 in the Aero!!

I think it's ugly Also heard that it's not very good quality.

Man, I'm glad I didn't go ahead and lay out the 600K to buy one. I'l just wait on Shane's Vette.

I chuckled at the drag coefficient (0.357) quoted on the specifications.

Now now, drag coefficients do not tell the whole story. Look at the ridiculous drag coefficient on a race car due to creating downforce....then again , there are ways including tunnels and diffusers to create downforce without creating significant drag....

True. But if you are trying to get to 250+ MPH, drag is your worst enemy - unless you have unlimited horse power.

I like how you highlighted the CrownVic and the Pacer. Nice touch.

NSX: .30 woot!

As for the SSC, I'm not impressed. It really does remind me of a glorified kitcar.

the 02+ are .30
91-01 are .32


hence the 175 vs 168 top speeds

Picking nits. regardless, it still beats the SSC. Looks better, too in my opinion.
