My sexlife is electronically controlled to perfection.

Did you guys not read my post? Steve and Chris agreed to give the GT3 RS a 20 SECOND head start, and it still blew past it. Furthermore, my understanding is that Chris is the faster driver (than Steve) under these types of conditions (he was driving the RS).

Lastly, have you ever tried to pass a a GT3 RS (i.e. a very fast car) on a twisty public road anywhere other than on a straight section.

Remember evo also compared the Veyron against the CGT, Enzo and Zonda S. They came to the same conclusion: nothing can keep up with a Veyron, even in the twistiest backroads they could find.

They're are not saying that it is the most 'natural' car, but they are saying that it is the fastest!

^You drive a 911 GT3 RS very fast on a track....you get respect as a driver
You drive a Veyron very fast on a track ... you get respect as a sucessful person in life and can afford one.

One thing we can all agree on, Veyron is fast as hell. There maybe but's to the end of that sentense, but the first part will hold true regardless.

I pretty much agree with your statement. However, if you're driving the Veyron at a track, and you mis-judge your entry speed substancially, there are no electronic nannies that will save you...

The Veyron would kill it in a 1-2 lap race on a short circuit. 3+laps and the GT3 RS will start catching up with breaking and cornering(cause of less tire wear)

Put it on the 'Ring and the Bug will melt it's brakes off.
