The worlds fastest car

The SSC Aero is one bad automobile. It has a top speed of 256 mph right out of the box. This is not some fancy exotic eurotrash, it's made in the good old USA. It's not powered by a 12 cylinder engine or boxer style engine or a W-16 but a good old American V-8. No ABS, traction control or automatic transmission on this hot rod. It's a drivers car with a six-speed manual transmission and will smoke the tires at any time. There is one downside to though. The gas tank will only hold 32 gallons. At top speed you can only go about 30 miles between fill-ups. The Aero burns four gallons per minute. But you can go in a hurry.
