MANNYMAN84..approx. 4200-4300 lbs i believe and there assembled unlike any other car out there...where are you going to go 260+ ????...where are are you going to do 205 in a ZR1 ???....it's all relevent i guess, but i get your meaning...no matter what the veyron's do, some one will always bring up the cost factor in owning one...
never the fact that it is the world's fastest stock car.

LOL you guys should check out the price for tires for that thing lol.i also heard after the engine has been started 4 times or something like that it has to be sent back in, i was reading awhile back about it and its crazy just reading about the upkeep cost

Ok just looked up the specs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron
Engine
Standard: 8.0 L (488 cu in) W16 quad-turbocharged 1,001 PS (736 kW; 987 bhp)
Super Sport: 8.0 L (488 cu in) W16 quad-turbocharged 1,200 PS (883 kW; 1,184 bhp)
Now what i dont understand is how can a 400ci LSX or even a 383 LS1 with only 1 turbo make as much if not more HP than this.
You would think being 16 cylinders and 4 hairdryers and 488ci (8.0L) that it would more likely be around 2000HP???
Didn't thompson Automotive make 2048HP out of a 400ci LSX twin turbo.
Add to that we have seen countless numbers of 450+ ci LSX Naturally Aspirtated combo's make over 1000hp.
Personally if i had 4 turbos 16 cylinders and 488 cubes i would want to to be over 2000HP.

I'm sure the bugatti uses all that displacement so it can keep the boost low and still make 1000hp, to avoid problems/excessive heat on extended WOT runs on 91 octane.
You can't count to 1?

look up active automotive he has 1 yellow GTO and 1 black GTO both running in the low 8's.
maybe not countless but there is certainly more and more poping up.
you also have nathan higgins who is now in the 7's
so if sams 433ci makes 1001HP shouldn't a 488ci N/A without 4 turbos still be kicking sams 433 considering it's nearly a full Liter less in capacity......just saying
Yeah sure this thing probably complies with euro 4 emmisions or whatever but still i'd like to think if i had 2 V8's bolted together and 4 turbos the thing would be making a bit more.
Basically i dont feel it's an engineering marvel cause the engine is huge and that power has been made with alot less.
You would expect it to be making alot more power than what it does for what type of engine it is.

hence why some people twin turbo ferrari's and lambo's.
im not here to argue im just stating that 2 v8's bolted together more cubes than most v8's and not 1 not 2 but 4 turbos and it makes a lazy 1000hp. a 383 with 2 turbos makes that much and then some.

Now if you really want to get all stupid ricer math they are plenty of single turbo 2.0L running 1000+AWHP so easily 1200-1300 crank and a few pushing even more. That means your twin turbo v8's should be doing 2000-2500RWHP.

I'm waiting to see one of these V8s you keep posting videos of make 1000hp on 91 octane, run at full boost for at least 2 minutes, and meet all noise, emissions, safety and OEM reliability targets in the process.
The Veyron is the automotive equivalent of the Concord. Period.
