Koenigsegg's respons was they are going to put a spoiler in the back of CCX in order to make it safer and faster. Drag coefficient difference is somewhere around 1/100th between these supercars. Wing mirror design makes 5-10mph top speed difference in theory.
Zonda F holds title as fastest production car around Top Gear track yet it produces much less HP than CCX. It's all in the design. I am not saying Koenigsegg CCX is not a beautiful machine. Don't get me wrong. Everyone has subjective idea about their favorite cars. Some can't stand the Enzo. You get my point.

if it had a spoiler they estimate it would drill the zonda by 4 seconds... they always add a spoiler to the GT race version...
That will be still behind Zonda F's time.
