Side note: first fbody/vette I have seen with Defi gauges...great choice!
Thanks, I thought it would be unique. The Defi colors match the OEM cluster perfectly.

No, it runs on pump gas. Thats why the Bugatti actually has way more power than the Katech Air Attack Vette.

But the Katech Vette will whip the Bugatti in any type of race.

Actually the Air Attack made more power (1008hp) than the Bugatti (1001ps(987hp)).

We could probably make 1000 on 94 octane pump gas. Race gas is just very available and we are reducing risk.

Top speed would probably be the only exception where the Bugatti wins.

Race gas is safe and makes sense to use. I don't know why so many people want max power with pump gas.

You think the Bugatti would win a top end race with equal HP and the same gearing? The Vette is more slippery than the Bugatti isn't it?

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! I think that this car is just the right amount of excessive everything that we need. Screw the ZR1, I'll take Katech's offering.

Ya, there was TONS of homework done on the Bugatti's aerodynamics and handling at top speed. Automatic lowering, diffuser, and shock dampening. I'm sure theres more thats just from the top of my head.

I thought the Bugatti was slipperier. I don't think any C6 Z06 has been tested to those kinds of speeds. I also think the Bugatti would be far more stable at that speed.

I'd have to search for it but I know I saw a 1985 style Trans Am that did 260 mph on the salt flats with a normally aspirated engine, I think it was like 800-900 hp and had aerodynamics mods from end to end with weight reduction.

The Bugatti sure doesn't look slippery, although it probably is, and its probably the ugliest car I've ever seen, well not uglier than the AMC Pacer.

Maybe its just me, but that is one GAY looking car:

The Bugatti is all about function. Everything on it has a purpose, especially when you reach the speeds that it does.
