This thing defies physics. 1000+HP helps.

The point of the car is to say that you have the money, and that nothing can catch you...well sort of. I would love to have a car thats as sweet and powerful as that, but i wont waste all my money on one.

It's a difference in opinion. Honestly, if I could spend 1.3 mil on either a T/A or a Bugatti, it would be tough. That Veyron is GORGEOUS. But then again, who wouldn't mind modding a T/A till it hits 0-60 in 3.0 HAHA. But, you'll have your chance to buy a Bugatti when they come out in the U.S. under a different name. Rumor is, the "Baby Bugatti" is coming out in the U.S. in V-8 form in a couple years for a measly 50-60k. Probably with an "Emporio Armani" feel. It won't be the real thing, but at least it says Armani. HAHA

IMO you could get something still pretty bad ***, like a Bentley or Ferrari.
I mean you could do a 599 GTB or Bentley Arnage Drophead to turn heads and still have plently left over for a S550 or Quattraporte and a nice SUV like the Escalade or a S/C Range Rover. And still build a dedicated street/track monster like a Noble M12 or even something as crazy as a 1,000 RWHP Ultima GTR.

They are COOOL but not even really cars anymore. NO superexotic is as reliable as a Camry or a Chevrolet Truck but nothing elicits emotion like a SuperCar.
Neat but it doesn't make me happy like a streetable C6R would. Different strokes for different folks ya' know?

I agree comparing an engineering exercise with a car with real racing provenance is stupid IMO. The Mclaren F1 is revolutionary still many years past its debut. Its lightweight efficient chassis has not been matched by any of the latest supercars.
