What is the fastest supercar at this moment?

For many, myself included, I think of the SSC as more of a kit car than a production car. For example, a 1-year warranty? Point being, I'm sure if you called SSC up and said I want 200 more horsepower, but I'm willing to sacrifice reliability / engine life, they would say "sure." I doubt the other two would.
Both Bugatti and Koenigssegg are, to me at least, more true auto manufacturers.
But I have complete respect for what SSC has accomplished. And the car keeps getting more attractive, both inside and out.

I disagree with this. I think it's just a matter of where you draw the line on what constitutes a supercar / production car.

However, I do disagree with you that the SSC is a kit car, at least any more so than the Koenigsegg. What is your definition of a kit car? Is it a car that has a build quality which is not as good as a Koenigsegg? Was a Yugo considered a kit car?
Both are extremely low volume production cars. It just so happens that one is extremely well made and one is crap, that happens to look like a Lamborghini kit car, and may very well share parts from one. But it's not a kit car.
