We now have Fenske(Engineering Explained) with his 2 bob's worth and it points to only one thing, which is obviously deception. I wonder if Shelby is related to Trump? :P

The plot thickens with Shelby responding to TopGear. He claims the diff ratio is 2.92 and not 3.16 and that they used military grade measuring equipment. What's more the speedo was out 14-15 mph at 200 mph. Seriously do the run again with speed traps FFS

Is this the best that MotorTrend could come up with to challenge the video evidence which speaks for itself?? Bloody amateurs lol

SSC is standing by the 316 mph claim

Without even mentioning a thing about maths or Youtubers

Concisely they determined the car which hit 7300rpm in 6th gear, which was only 247mph... And the math works out that the car avged only 216mph through the 2 U-turn sections, while the "gps" said it avged 289mph.

It's a shame, the much delayed Tuatara is likely going to bankrupt SSC after the lawsuits that will come after this, assuming they sold all their cars. Bugatti may throw in a suit as well for good measure too =/

Nor should they have given the latest expose lol

I'm really really disappointed. At 12:41 in the video, you can see clear proof, the record is fake.

Shmee exposed it as a fake just now

MERICA!!!!!!!

do you think the 301 run was sandbagged?

i know uphill/downhill is a factor,though that depends on the gradient of the hill

''So they forgot to add a small gps device to verify it ?

Money well spent LOL''
could the speedo (assuming the speed shown in the video is from the speedo) be overrating and the car actually hitting around 325 mph?

How many SSC you see rolling on the streets because i see a couple of koenigseggs every week so a wonder if SSC is a production car.

How about making top speed cars self driving. So the topspeed run isn´t that dangerous.

This is properly insane. Imagine driving a Bugatti Veyron - being known as THE top speed-car of the last decade - at the very limit (253 mph/407 kph) and then this Tuatara comes blasting by with roughly 80 mph/125 kph more. So basically it's like you are standing still on a highway while other cars drive past normally.
