Well there has to be someone to call bullshit on something online, so I guess I will be him. Given that the video doesn't have any of the times posted, and there are lots of obvious plugs for the HHR wheels etc, you basically have to take the guy's word for it, so it saps some of the legitimacy of the video. The drag coefficient of a Supra is not where an SSC Aero is, and the Aero is pushing 1200 horsepower, so I say given the power to weight, and drag coefficient, no way the Supra beats the Aero. Assuming that the gear ratios are relatively similar (which you would expect given that they have to reach over 240) it seems like simple math to me. Same goes for the SSC car not getting to 240 before a mile. No reason that it wouldn't. Also the reports said that the Aero was spinning the wheels at over 190mph in 6th gear!
