That's awesome. SSC makes some amazing vehicles. I had the pleasure of touring the facility a couple years ago. You could eat off the floors in that place.

How smooth does the road have to be to be safe at that speed? Do they prep it prior?

I got rid of mine. You would think they could put decent speakers in it, for that kind of money.

Now...imagine a dump truck kicking loose a few dime sized rocks at that windshield.

It did. What's the deal? Why did he stop at 331?

That is a pretty flat stretch of road that is popular for these high speed runs. I’m sure they had the road cleared and scrubbed several times prior to the run. Can you imagine hitting a rock or pothole going 300+?

He probably got distracted by the chunk of driver's seat pinched off by his arsehole.

0 to 331 in 1 minute 10 seconds. Not bad.

1st observation- the 0-60 was way slower than I expected. I get it's the fastest car in the whole world lol, just unexpected.

2nd- Missed opportunity for making gas and infinite miles per gallon for stopping at 331
