The Bugatti's 1/8 mile traps are the same and the 60-130 and 100-150 times are actually a little better in this vid but it has some trouble launching.
These cars are pretty close.

They are, but the fact that the Corvette can now say that is impressive as that wasn’t the case when the Veyron came out.

The Veyron was a crazy car in its own right but time has marched on.
I expected the Chiron to be right there, it's put down great results in the past.
For any amount of money it is tough to beat the ZR1/ZR1X for all out performance.

Chiron cant leave hard without breaking.
I've watched those cars since they were released a good 8 out of 10 times they launch super soft. Much torque management involved. The Veyron was better but still not perfect. I would say 50% of the time it launched hard.
There's no two ways about it ZR1 is amazing but like those cars it doesn't always get out the gate quickly. the X fixes that and is unstoppable at this point there's nothing that can touch the X. Insane.
You're looking at the future of hi performance. It's been brewing since the holy trinity came out and we all knew it. This just proves it. Have your cake and eat it too. The purists hate it because of "weight" and complexity... Just like a horse vs an internal combustion engine but hybrid tech is our only ice future.
The E-Ray now GS-X and ZR1X just showcase how great awd and hybrid combined tech is. Curious to see how Chevy combines the hybrid into the rwd C9. But I know it's coming in some form. Like 911s.
