No argument - the Veyron defenders will never ever drive one, let alone get a chance to own one.. wheres 1000hp Corvettes are within reach of anyone with a $70,000 spare to buy a used LPE TT or such

I wonder what the performance stats are of this 1000RWHP vette.. I'm thinking it wont have enough traction to put down all that power..

Sure.. no traction... :roll: SHould be as good as any other 1000hp rwd car - whether European, Japanese or American
Which is why 1000hp street Vettes and Vipers are running 9s 1/4 miles at 160mph+..
Thats 0-260kmh in 9s.. remember the Veyron does 0-300 in 16s... leaving the car 7 s to gather 40 more kmh - right?
Or do I have my Veyron numbers all wrong??

I don't like the veyron and some of the high power nissan skylines are way faster than the veyron.
And i like the newer corvettes lingenfelter is the best corvette tuner out there.
Veyron is just a stupid car and to damm heavy to make it any good at driving.
Give me the vette any day.

I hope Lingenfelter takes this to one of the magazine shootouts so he can shutdown Hennessey once again.

Sadly John passed away 2 years ago - so it will be a show of force from the other side - his spirit is still very much around in the cars that carry his name.
