The Shelby Super Car Aero has been clocked on a closed stretch of Washington State highway at an average speed (2 runs) of....
257mph
Which beats Konigsegg's 241mph and Bugatti's 'claimed' 253mph top speed.
It ALSO holds the record for the highest powered emissions legal road car, with 1157bhp and 1017lb torque from a 6.3lt twin supercharged Corvette engine.

Great...
Wonder how reliable/well built is is compared to a Veyron?
Wonder if it will go round a corner?

To be fair if you had the cash to go and spend £1m + on a car would you really be botherd? you would more than likely buy it just for a collection
