Default BAR first to break the 400km/h mark!

LOL, it goes faster than a Veyron, and without the extra 6 cylinders, 5l less displacement and none of those 4 turbos

Indeed very impressive but nevertheless it's pointless to compare a Formula 1 car with the overweight Veyron.

yeah, but from that you can pretty much figure that BAR is going to dominate on tracks like Indy and Monza. Unless BMW and Ferrari can top them

McLaren held the top speed on track of 230.1 mph (montoya) @ monza. Now that's impressive considering its only 20mph off this record.
