Some will argue that the SSC Ultimate Aero is now the world's fastest production car. Some will say the requirment of special gas disqualifies it. Just to add an update to the arguement.

There's no argument to this. Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero uses Premium Unleaded - 91 Pump Octane.

:whistle:

Both are fast, yet only a few will drive them that fast. Period.

Really, that's not an argument. The whole of Europe gets 91 RON as a minimum. The USA is about the only pace I can think of where 85 is average, afaik. And really, you could retune the engine to work better on whatever you're using over the pond, and it wouldn't hurt performance much. In fact, you could raise compression a bit, and lean the fuel mix a bit, and you're firing on all cylinders. (A Chemical Engineer at an Oil Refinery explained that for an average Joe's car, premium fuel is not worth the extra cost.)

But 91 is mass-produced. It really does count.

Agreed, where are you going to find a stretch of road to hit their top speed? Legally? And now what, you have proved you can go fast in a straight line. Yippee. Maybe race it on a course? That is one expensive piece of equipment to be risking (600k or 1.5m). Who and what would you race against? Do they have a rich prick racing league?

Well, that's the main thing. The Veyron is not designed to race. It is a fast cruiser. The McLaren F1 was designed to be raced (and was), but the Veyron was designed to show that luxury and hyperspeed aren't mutually exclusive. Doesn't mean it wold win a race against an Enzo or something.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By sagum · Posted

      A gatekeeper is basically a company that is used by so many other (businesses) that sudden changes could impact the other business might fail. Like for example, say a car show room uses AWS to it's database, as gatekeepers amazon wouldn't really be expected to just change it's terms of conditions that would rug pull the database from the car show's business leaving them in the dark.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
