SSC Aero, faster then a Bugatti Veyron?

American performance-car maker SSC is to tackle the Bugatti Veyron’s 253mph record for the world’s fastest road car with this, its Ultimate Aero TT (above). Powered by a 1183bhp twin-turbo 6.2-litre V8, the company hopes the TT will reach in excess of 270mph.
A test run on a closed 12-mile section of Highway 93 in Nevada saw the Aero TT reach 230mph at 56% full throttle in top gear, but a snow-storm (gulp) and cracking tarmac prevented the car from running the full length of the course.

Okay, the SSC will not beat the Bugatti in a race. The Bugatti is too fabulous. (Well, in blue or black anyway, who would have it in red and black? Not that i would turn it down if one was given to me.((i'd just have it spray painted)) ) Anyway! Has the SSC won a race against a plane? Or been driven my Jeremy Clarkson? I think not. The Americans don't know what their talking about.
