Dear Bugatti Veyron, it was fun while it lasted.
It looks like there are two cars more powerful and faster then you 
autoexpress.co.uk
Saleen is now offering buyers of its 750 bhp S7 Twin Turbo supercar the option of a 'performance upgrade'. It costs £46,500 on top of the S7's £320,000 list price and boosts the 7-litre twin-turbo V8 to a claimed 1000 bhp. Coupled with a relatively light kerbweight of 1338 kg, the huge power should allow the S7 to challenge the Bugatti Veyron as the fastest production car in the world. And with 75 examples of the S7 already delivered in the US, the Saleen certainly has every right to claim the title.
Even with the 'cooking' 750bhp engine, the S7 Twin Turbo is said to be good for a sub-three second run to 60 mph, and 100 mph flashes up in a claimed six seconds flat. Currently Saleen claims a top speed of 240 mph for the S7 Twin Turbo but with the 1000 bhp upgrade there are whispers that the car has already topped over 260 mph in testing.
(end of article)
"Expect a future intercooled version with almost twice the boost to make over 1000 bhp."
- Road & Track
The new S7 Twin Turbo runs 5.5 psi of boost.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another exotic supercar is the SSC (Shelby Super Cars) Ultimate Aero.
http://www.shelbysupercars.com/
Videos: http://www.shelbysupercars.com/testing.asp
SSC Ultimate Aero
Base Price: $654,500
Top Speed: 260 to 273 mph
The Ultimate Aero is one of the most extreme vehicles--make that one of the most extreme ideas--of which we have ever heard. It achieves such ridiculous performance with a 1,046-horsepower V-8 engine (you read that hp figure correctly), shoehorned into a car that weighs 2,640 pounds.

I'd take the third fastest car. My LG4 puts out what -- 170HP? Anything over that is welcome.

75 of them are in the united states... driving on which roads, exactly? the only semi-safe place is montana and that's only three months out of the year. so, yeah, you spent 1M to drive a car you'd freak out if a fly landed on for three months of the year if you're lucky.
talk about more money than brains.
