What is the 0 to 60 on the Thrust SSC?
The Bugatti Veyron was clocked at 253, but it went 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, while it took the SSC 2.7 seconds. If you're talking about any car, the Thrust SSC has the land speed record at 763 mph, but the thing is basically a jet on wheels. You won't see it rolling down the highway any time soon.
