veyron still has the record...i don't believe the saleen was going after it though. There was another car that tried in march but becuase of wheel spin at 190mph they had to back off until there was warmer weather.

it was the SSC aero tt i posted the results below

SSC tested the Ultimate Aero TT' Top Speed capabilities on March 22nd, 2007. The original test was scheduled for March 21st, 2007 but was called off because of snow. SSC closed down a 12-mile stretch of U.S. Route 93 in Nevada for the event. Their goal was to attempt to replace the Bugatti Veyron as the fastest production car ever produced (currently 253.2mph). Simulation and testing at NASA's Virginia facility has shown that the car should be capable of about 273mph.[2] The March 22nd attempt failed to break the record because of sub-optimal temperature conditions. Test driver Rick Doria reported "wheel-spin" at speeds above 190mph.[3] Despite the weather, the car still managed to reach 230mph. SSC reports that they will attempt to break the record again in a couple weeks (weather permitting).
