I think one of the Mercedes uses a supercharger in there, but I forgot which model. It's fast and I don't think it's one of the AMG series either. I think it's like a Mclaren or something....or are they even the same cars?

At least it's so according to the author.

Haha, oh man. I didn't realize the fastest car was produced here in america, lol. The only cars that came to my mind was the Enzo and the McLaren. But I have never heard of the SSC Ultimate Aero TT before. Are they their own company and not affiliated with GM or anyone like that? It must be super rare because I have never seen one before, let alone on TV.
Oh, so the McLaren is a BMW breed. I had no idea......I wonder how I got the idea it was a Mercedes design.
I don't get how some of the more faster cars are V8s when you have the V12 Enzos sitting below them in the ranks. It must boil down to efficiency and design.

America is once again the king of building fast cars. You can also throw in the pure domestic Saleen S7 Twin Turbo in the mix and have a McLaren and Enzo beater right there.
Ironically, despite being the fastest, the SSC is not the quickest production car from 0-60mph.

You're probably referring to the Zonda (if not the SLR).
For the usual applications (other than F-1 racing), McLaren is heavily affiliated with BMW, not Mercedes.

there are many of cars that can push upwards of 240 mph nowadays ...SSC Ultimate Aero is the current fastest... they test it by averaging the top speed going one way then then the top speed going back... It isn't difficult anymore to make a car go to those figures...
