After its record run across a Washington state highway that yielded an official average speed, as determined by the Guinness Officials, as being 256.19 mph.
Since the record setting run was performed on a public road with an uneven surface it stands to reason that the Ultimate Aero TT could certainly stretch out its lead a bit further.
Good. Let's set a good example for the ricerkiddies.After a lengthy search SSC has received permission in their own state of Washington to make their drive for greatness on one of their freeways.

Wow, that's kinda illegal.
I seriously hope someone gets caught for that shit. There's no reason to do a test-run on a public road. I hope it was at least legally closed off.

Actually the record run was recorded on a section of Washington state highway that was closed off with the states cooperation just for the occassion. They did not make the run with Guinness watching while weaving through traffic.
I have just added links to prior articles about the SSC Ultimate Aero’s run for the record at the end of this article. They better detail how they made the run and the way the speed was calculated by Guinness.
Why not the salt flats ?
Reading > You two lolAnd again, as noted in the prior article, the only reason SSC had to utilize a closed off section of state highway for their test run is they are a small company and cannot afford to rent out any of the large test tracks owned by the major auto manufacturers.
?!? The Veyron is just an overgrown ugly VW.I'd still take a Veyron.
That would be way-way-way more handy than a 260mph top end. You just couldn't use that anywhere.
