Teamspeed Interview with JEROD SHELBY

Most car enthusiasts have heard of SSC. They built the Ultimate Aero, a car that broke the record for the Worlds Fastest Production Car. In 2007 it bested Bugatti's unofficial 253mph record and Koenigsegg's official 242mph by going 257mph. (This was beaten almost 2 years later by the Veyron Super Sport)

For most people this is where their knowledge of the car brand ends. This is an interview conducted in the Teamspeed.com forums. Teamspeed is "the worlds premier luxury forums." Many member their own the rarest, fastest, and most expensive exotics; cars, boats, motorcycles, etc. They often get access to events most others don't, get exclusive unveilings, and have started having exclusive interviews.

This interview is conducted with Jerod Shelby, the founder and owner of SSC. Members were given the chance to ask questions regarding Jerod Shelby, his past, and the history of SSC. SSC preferred the questions to be about that and not about the new car being developed, much of it is still top secret. Some questions are not directly answered by Mr. Shelby. Some that pertain to the car are answered by Junus Khan, SSC's Marketing Director.
