i absolutely despise the Veyron, but holy shit, that was a quick take off.

Just goes to show that no matter what format the 1,000 HP is in, wether it be NA V8 or quadturbo W16, as long as the tires hold the tarmac, the car will launch.

I would much rather sink 10K into a 67 Camaro and launch on 2 wheels though

Bugatti, to me, seems like they are one of the most under-the-radar manufactuers out there. Especially for the price. Their cars have never really grabbed my attention or interest. I could probably point out an EB110 just because it's one of the few supercars i DON'T recognize just for the fact that i never paid attention to it.

I don't know if the Veyron is going to do what they are hoping it will, whatever the intent is, but i doubt it. I don't think that a 1000 HP over-turboed engine is going to be enough to make it worth the production delays and near project cancellations that this thing went through to see the streets. When all is said and done, the Veyron will be nothing but a flash in the pan.
