Jerod, kudos for having the balls to take on the likes of Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Pagani from the good old USA!

I am a huge fan and have followed the progress from the first Ultimate Aero. My question is one of design, how did you link up with Jason Castriota who did such an incredible jon on the new car, and did you know right away you wanted to work with him or did you look at any other famous automotive designers?

At the time we're keeping the office top speed specifications under wraps but we're working with Michelin.

The production of the current Ultimate Aero is completed and the complete focus of the company is on the new project.

Thanks, I figured it'd be at least a few years away. Sounds like the developmental time is shorter this time around.

I'm assuming you guys would be using their newest Super Sport tires or are they making a special set for you guys like they've historically done for others in the past?

Haha, of course, but only if you come to the east side of the state.

Hi guys, I was wondering what the feeling at SSC was when Bugatti took back the top speed crown. Was there ever a thought of going back out and attempting to win it back? With the improved aero and increased output of the 2009-up cars, would it have been feasible to top 267, given an appropriate site?
