Only once you get to about 160mph you'd just get embarrassed at the traffic light grand prix or round a track.

I see what you did there, and fair point, however my driving starts at 160, anything less is just cruising around

I've been saying it for ages, the veyron is a badged up skoda, astounding the differences in technologies, and the lack of difference in cars performance.
F1 for me.

BUT, isnt the book time for a Veyron 0-60 2.6 secs and a F1 3.2? so why did the Veyron lose?

I find it astounding you cant see the difference
Its amazing that the Bugatti is able to have the same (better) peformance as a car designed to be a no compromise driving machine yet be whisper quiet to drive and total luxury as well.
By the way, which Skoda is badged up into a Veyron? I might save myself a few quid if you could tell me, unless you're speaking total fuckin horseshit like normal

The veyron only does the 2.5 second 0-60 with it's launch control on though?
I can remember reading in the TG mag that hammond wasn't allowed to use it as it would give a fairer race. Also I think he spazzed up the start and the veyron bogged down some.
