Not to mention the fbody owner will at least drive their car, while the Veyron owner will just look at it. I hate people that treat cars like a piece of art. If you don't appreciate a car for its machinery, performance, technology, etc. And you aren't going to drive it, then don't buy the damn thing. Imagine you had to be on a waiting list to buy a car you really wanted to drive, but you had to wait for some ******* to buy it first that is only going to park it in their garage?

who cares! they have the money to do that! and not everyone in the damn world cares about drag racing. if they did, they'd build a top fuel car or something with all their expendable money. and its been proven somewhere (just gotta remember where i found the info) that the 120mph test is 100% true.

Like someone said, its a really fast luxury car. they spared no expense to make the car great.

look it up its been proven theres even a video of it.

BTW 4 turbos at 4psi each = 16psi

they dont have 4 turbos to make stupid power, they have 4 turbos to eliminate turbo lag. response is istant theres no waiting to build boost when you only run 4psi

You must be referring to this article.

Quote:

And it was only then, at 120 mph, that the sheer magnitude of the acceleration became apparent. For had we instead been doing 120 mph in a McLaren F1 — until last month the very fastest road car ever made — and passed a stationary Veyron, by the time we reached 200 mph, the Bugatti would have already caught and passed us.

Now let's read another part of the article.

Quote:

There is no official 0-200-mph time because Bugatti works in kilometers but when I asked its chief engineer, Wolfgang Schreiber, to give an estimate, he paused only for a second before replying, "Under 20 seconds, for sure."

What a credible source of information. NO official time and the chief engineer just guessed. But yet in the latest Car and Driver, they ACTUALLY tested the new Veyron as 0-200 mph in 25.5 seconds.

Now there is another article from last year about the Hennessey Viper BEATING the Veyron from 0-200 mph. Guess what the Viper's time was? 20.3 And guess what the Veyron was recorded at? 24.2.

And yes, there are other articles that say the same stupid statement you are saying. But from what I see, they are all because some moron chief engineer gave false and UNOFFICIAL information. The idiot probably thought the question was about kph, not mph.

But just to be on the safe side, I will call up Car and Driver, and any other magazine that tested the Veyron from 0-200 mph at about 25 seconds and ask them if they know how to drive and test vehicles. Especially since your source of information came from the Internet in a written statement rather than an actual road test.

And as I stated before, the Veyron is 4.5 lbs per hp verse the McLaren which is 4.0 lbs per hp. I don't know about you, but I took physics in school. And considering all of the information including the drag coefficient of these cars, your precious little turbos are not getting the Veyron to 200 mph faster than a McLaren does from 120-200. And to further show your ignorance, the Lingenfelter 2006 Z06 427 TT with 1,100 rear wheel horsepower does 0-200 mph in 18.34 seconds. That is more horsepower and less weight than the Veyron, but yet you still want to believe that the Veyron is somehow magically getting to 200 mph in less than 20 seconds?

Ignorance is bliss.

ill find all the information and such and post up when I get around to it.

and yet either way this is a 4400lb car that gets moving very fast very quick. Its an engineering marvel and is far more luxurious and driver friendly than any of those cars especially the mclaren.

That's not how the turbos work at all
Each turbo must make 16psi, that math doesn't work with physics.
They probably used 4 turbos for VOLUME, not pressure.
4 smaller turbos feeding more air into the engines than 2 larger ones that spool slower.

thats probably it then. I dont know anything about FI but I read up a lot on the veyron but never quite understood what it all meant.

That's quite obvious.

id rather get a koeniggeseg, or the saleen s7 1000hp version, or a Pagani Zonda F Clubsport, Ferrari Enzo, i could keep going, these cars actually look like super exotic hyper cars, that thing looks so big fat and chunky. 1000 hp with quad turbos, whats so impressive??? Ferrari Enzo has 660 hp with a 6 litre (about 365 ci) N/A engine, and its wayyy older too, it came out in 2001/2002.
