    The American-built SSC Ultimate Aero TT is a super car built by Shelby Super Cars (SSC) in order to rival the new Bugatti Veyron with speeds of over 250 mph (400 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of 2.78 seconds (for the Ultimate Aero TT version). The company and vehicle are the brainchild's of Jerod Shelby, who spent over seven years designing the Aero. The car is the world's fastest production car at 255.83 mph (411.707 km/h), a speed reportedly achieved on September 13, 2007 in West Richland, WA. The results of this test, verified by Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007, gave the SSC Aero the world's fastest production car title.

    2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. May not be the fastest, but it's right up there with the best.

    0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds

    0-100-0 in a low 19-second range

    0.92g on the skidpad

    Quarter mile times in the low 13s

    top speed rev-limited (revving to redline in top gear) to just shy of 170 mph.

    I don't know, but there ARE some foreign made "street legal", production vehicles, capable of 150+, IF you can afford them. WITH race modifications, capable of 225+ on straightaways.

    AND, of course, a car can almost ALWAYS be "souped up".
