I don't see the point either. Then again, Veyron's Michelin PAXs are designed so that you could use them everyday then on that day you wanna go 250mph. Bugatti does recommend you to get a new set before you do 250mph, though. Recommend probably meaning that they'll void your warranty if you don't.

No, they only void the warranty on the tires if you do a standing start hard launch.

I meant the car itself.

Then again, isn't the warranty void if you use the second key anyways? I think I heard something like that. Although... that doesn't sound right.

clarkson say a picture of this on an episode and instantly said he hated it and that it would be crap. i still think he should test it though.

I wonder how the tires will hold up on the scc ultimate aero tt on a top speed run?

it's normal to compare the Veyron and SSC becouse Veyron was fastest and SSC is fastest now, but infact they are very different cars, I guess SSC is supercar for all those people that don't like Veyron.
comparing SSC to Koenigsegg would be very cool becouse they are pretty similar,both have Forced induction V8, RWD, manual gearboxes, and lack of any electronic aids, also similar weight.
the PR guy from SSC also agrees that SSC is more like Koenigsegg.
but when you realize that 800hp CCR went 388kmh(242mph) on banked Nardo which decreases the top speed by few miles you begin to wonder how fast a 1000hp+ Koenigsegg would go.
and that's a comparison I would like to see

btw here is video were the PR guy says that SSC is more like Koenigsegg then the Veyron

it starts at 3:20mark

Well someone notice the diference between this cars.

For me Koenigsegg lacks a NA V12.A V8 turbocharge is not enough,many turbo lag.And it breaks down all the time.
