That's not me you're talking about. I'm always FOR cars breaking records. I don't care what brand. It just isn't physically possible for the Veyron to do so. I seriously wish the tried a different approach. Two clutches? imagine what that thing is attached to? What about the four turbos? Imagine the drivetrain needed to cope with that kind of torque? How much will that weigh? It also doesn't help that one of the engineers from the Macca's core team said that it is impossible to a certain amount of power down on the road at one time, because of the contact patch of the tires, irregardless of weight. He said that once you add the actual weight of the car, then the problem grows.

200-300 pounds more than the enzo is like having a really fat bloke holding you down all the time. They NEED to drop the 300 pounds, not add more.
