What’s the best TT bike available right now, price doesn’t matter. But it has to be legal for ITU sanctioned non-draft races.
New p3 with slick aero bar. Or p5-3 if you can find it
Shiv tt also a good option. Or the plasma 3 or new plasma 5 without the bottle for the tt
Edit: disregard. I read uci tt instead of itu

The one that fits you the best.
Zach, you’re going to love my new bike then. I’ll send you teaser shots on FB later.
I can’t believe nobody has mentioned it but Trek Speed Concept. I’ve raced ITU non-draft with it in non-UCI trim and never heard a word (as have numerous other age groupers I’m sure) but if for some reason your race falls under UCI regulations you can just take of the draft box (flat kit and actually makes you more aero) and order the UCI compliant base bar.
The only bike I can think of that might be faster than the Speed Concept would be the P5-6 and that would only be if you are a very fast rider (low yaw) and the delta would be quite small. I don’t think the P5-3 would be faster than the Speed Concept at low yaw (it would be very close) and I know it would be slower at high yaw (>10 degrees).

Hands down the fastest.

Idk what uti regulations are for non draft but felt ia, p5, and speed concept are fastest.

the frames are prob faster but on real conditions outside the wind tunnel I will take my shiv with the integrated fuel solution.
IMHO
I’ll throw out a Falco V. No idea really, but just a hunch.

If I won the lotto, the P5 would be in my stable tomorrow

You can fit the shiv reservoir in the IA. And the speed concept has some great integration.
best is a subjective measurement. To me, the P5-3 with hydro brakes, aduro bar, di2, and some fast wheels is my best. I’d opt for the 3 over the 6 to skip the beard to keep things that little bit simpler, its also negligibly slower and I think the 3 looks better. Also to be best it would be custom painted.

Falco V and other beam bikes aren’t ITU legal.
IA FRD stiffest tri bike you will ever ride with aero dynamics that are the best out there. I work in a bike shop and have ridden top level shivs, speed concepts, and P5’s and nothing has compared.
also have ridden the plasmas but still like the IA better.

Just because you think a bike feels faster, doesn’t mean it is faster. I’d stick with a P5-3 if I had no budget limit as this bike has been shown to be very fast on many different tunnel tests.

Obviously. Of course I’ve been on the wait list for almost a year and a half with delivery in December 2015… and that was before his accident. 
As a first pass, I would look at Trek SC and Shiv TT (not the Shiv tri)
of course, if it was me I just would say to hell with ITU racing and buy a Dimond
