The SLR might lose even more on a standstill given the RWD layout.

well

the S7 is faster to 60 then the more powerful S7 TT... but teh TT edges out the n/a in the 1/4 still.

extrapolating, I agree with you

Probably due to turbo lag.

actually no, its due to not enough frictional surface. There isn't much turbo lag to speak of, especially on a hard launch in the S7 TT... have you been in one? its not a 'high boost' car at all.... and 427ish cubes. Its the massive torque the car produces spinning only the rear wheels.... you are fighting for traction in all of 1rst and 2nd gears.... 90+ mph

Apparently, if you gave the Mac F1 a 10s head start, the veyron would pass it before it reached 200 mph...

ALL HAIL...
I still think it would be a much closer battle than the SLR, and just nice to see the battle of the regions. Bugatti (EU), McLaren (UK), and Saleen (US)....throw in the Koenigggseeegggggsgsggggg for scandinavia.

In a stright line the Bugatti has it in the bag, but around the track? hmmmmm

You'll prolly beat me fair and square. Only option is Racing Medium tires, other than that car is stock. All the driving aids are turned off.
I love the second gear in that car, it's so short
6.41.andsome is my time. I've only gotten 1.44.andsome with SLR.

I could cut maybe two seconds easily from S7s time, but any more than that would need more practise in the curvy section after the Karussell.
haven't run it yet... maybe sometime tomorrow. Sounds fun. I haven't played GT4 in foreeeeever

1000bhp vs 600bhp and people actually bother to comment they are amazed?

It's a given.. 1000 > 600... hello.. Mcfly... :roll: :roll:

The SLR managed to do pretty well for the first second or two during the second run, although it's clear the AWD of the Veyron gave the car much more grip for that initial start.

During the first run, the SLR seemed to start off too harshly and the typical MB electronics kicked in, making the whole car shudder and the rear sway as it lost precious seconds. From there on, it was just game over.

Still a fun run to watch.
