Default C4 vs Bugatti Veyron?

Has anyone read the stats of VWs new monster?

1000hp W16 engine
Top speed 252MPH
0-60 in 3 seconds
0-180 in 14 seconds

The price tag is 1,000,000 US dollars but with its performance level that actually seems like a bargain.

L98 vs Veyron? I give it to the Veyron
LT1 vs Veyron? Ditto
LT4 vs Veyron? ? Remember LT4 is underrated Sorry not even GMs math was that bad. Win to Veyron
LT5 vs Veyron? Once again I give it to the Veyron
Modified C4 vs Veyron? Has anybody built a street legal C4 that has gone faster than 252MPH on a level surface?

I have read that when you get it from the factory it's limited to about 215 mph do to the tires. If you want to try a top speed run, the factory will send special racing tires and a technician to go for 250+mph. I believe I read this in Motor Trend but I might be mistaken.

Actually, the price is 1 million EURO, which equates to about $1,190,000. But who's counting.

Now, who's going to be the first to mod one.

That's just a tad out of my price range.

It should run good at altitude since it is boosted with 4 turbos.

I'll bet John Meaney's 1300 hp TT C4 with some gear changes and race tires could surpass 252mph, that would be a side by side race I'd like to see.

Normally aspirated cars take a big power hit up here (6300ft) boosted cars like the supercharged Cobras seem to do well up here, so I figure a four turbo W16 would do ok up here.
