Yeah, that Veyron is no joke!! One amazing piece of machinery. Saw a vid over on Streetfire, an Enzo up against a Veyron, they both hit it at the same time from about a 60mph roll, that Veyron left the Enzo like it was a jackstands. It looked like it was about to rip the front wheels up!! Car is insane!! Amazing that the all wheel drive tranny can handle the 1000hp and over 900 ft/lbs of torque!! I wait for the day I can see that car in person!!

I've seen car and driver articles on this car and the numbers were not near that good. 10.8 1/4 mile a little over 3 seconds to 60, which of course depends alot on track conditions, so I'll give it a benefit of a doubt. I personally seen a guy take his Hennesy Viper Venom to the strip for the first time and after 3 runs make a 10.3 @ 145 run. His first run was 11.8@ 88mph, yes 88 mph, he shut down mid track. You can tell he could not launch the car because he was getting way too much wheel spin even on the 10.3 run.
That Veyron is one mean car!

I saw something on that on the History Channel and they were having some major issues regarding keeping engine temps down and trying to provide very low drag coeffient down at the same time. Oh yeh....ahhhh...did anyone else catch the 1.7 mil price tag
