SSC Ultimate Aero

I think the Corvette powered bi-turbo SSC Ultimate Aero is my new favorite car to look at. What do you all think?

I do like that last pic but usually the SSC looks like a kit car. I'm not the biggest fan of it myself but those are some decent pics...

I'm not a fan of kit cars either, but as far as donor drive train cars go I think the SSC is a pretty well done.

I'm not denying this car's accomplishments. It is a monster. But the styling is a bit derivative... Whether deliberate or not, I see a lot of Diablo, CCX, a bit of Saleen. I think it could look a bit more unique. Side inlet design is a little odd and doesn't mesh quite well with the other forms.

But I am only nitpicking. I would love to own it.

I would live to drive tht car, but I do not like the styling. I have no respect for it after seeing the lenos garage with it and the owner of ssc talking about it. Def not a kit car.

Can't deny the numbers this car puts out... but everything about the car looks cheap. Looks like a polyurethane body kit with very thin layers of 80's boat paint. Every time I see this car I think of a Hot Wheels prototype toy car.
