What is the fastest street legal car in the world?

Answer
It would be very hard to find the fastest street-legal car in the world, since there are so many one-off custom cars. For instance, the VRAlexander's Carrera GT with 2800 hp. See more about his car in the Streetfire video if you can find it.

I see some already know the fastest fastest street-legal production car in the world to be the SSC Ultimate Aero (in terms of achieved top speed).
It has 1183 hp, 1094 lb-ft. torque, goes from 0-60 in 2.78 seconds,
and has an estimated top speed of 270+ mph, although only about 257.41 mph was achieved on the 2½-mile-long road.
SSC plans to make an attempt for the Ultimate Aero to achieve its true top speed sometime in the future on a longer road.
In my opinion, the Ultimate Aero looks cooler than the Veyron (especially the regular model--the Pur Sang looks a lot better than the base one). Others disagree. However, the price of the Aero's approximate $650,000 price tag compared to the Veyron's $1.3 million+ shows a large difference. This comes partly because the Veyron was built more as a luxury car that's really fast, while the Ultimate Aero was designed as more of a sports car/supercar. The Veyron has some more sophisticated machinery, such as its airbrake/wing and other interior things, but interestingly enough, it lacks a touchscreen infotainment system, while the Ultimate Aero has one. If the Veyron didn't have around 1000 hp and have all-wheel drive, it wouldn't be anywhere near as fast as it is, because it weighs a lot.

Koenigsegg and Bugatti have to fight for the "second fastest" title, with cars such as Koenigsegg's CCXR and CCXR Edition and Bugatti's famed Veyron.

Recently, someone said that Bugatti will end production of the Veyron with a GT model with more horsepower and a top speed of 260, making it the fastest car in the world again.
However, even if that is correct, I doubt it would beat the Ultimate Aero, since the full potential of the car has yet to be unleashed, and is much lighter than the Veyron.
But in case the Veyron GT (if it is to be made) beats the Ultimate Aero, SSC will likely just turn up the boost on their car, as it is only running 14 p.s.i. right now.

And the incredible claims that the Barabus TKR can accelerate from 0-60 in 1.67 seconds and has a top speed of 270 mph HAVE YET TO BE VERIFIED, so for the moment those claims are only rumors.
If they are verified, the Ultimate Aero will likely still have a higher top speed, but if not, a simple increase of boost should fix that.

Headline: "SSC makes 'World's Fastest Car' again by boosting Ultimate Aero's horsepower to 1250 hp" or something like that. Wouldn't that be kind of funny? (it would probably make the other guys frustrated)

Answer
I'm not sure what the best car ever made is, but the fastest "car" in the world is the twin jet-engined Thrust SSC, which set the world land-speed record at 763 mph.
