Alot of ppls compares the veyron to CCR and so on, the big mac is the only thing that remotesly comes close to it and we're talking day light in difference here. As for comapring this car to a back yard bang together is absurd, with all due respect to Leewah GTR is not even a shadow of this car.

The biggest damage in those fotos are the owners ego or the humiliation he's gonna cop next he meet up with his friends, for being the first "privateer" to bung one.

3. how would you feel in a veyron when LEEWAH or GTR-800 pull up at the lights and actually manage to keep up? not very happy(unless you are in the GT-R! LOL)

Uumm, can't remember the last time these cars reached 400km/h, and also can't remember GTR-800 having 1000hp... :)

Comparing a Veyron to a GTR, now I've heard it all!

As for the guy's ego being bruised? I'll just say people who can afford Veyron's probably don't care to much about what others think. I'm sure he will get his $5m payout and sleep easy!

yes, comparing the veyron to a GT-R was overboard. but i just can't stand the adulation this car is getting when it isn't even available with a proper manual transmission. how can it be compared with a mclaren, enzo, zonda or ccx? is top speed and acceleration all that defines a supercar? what about the aesthetics? the passion?

i'm sorry, but the veyron is just a result of bugatti trying too damn hard to build a car. they should have learned from the EB110.

in 10 years time, the veyron will be forgotten because another supercar will invariably surpass its top speed. but the mclaren? that will always be remembered for being the definition of a supercar. an enzo? its already a classic. and a zonda? a recent comparison in motor magazine left me pleasantly surprised when the tester stated he was drawn to the zonda more so than the veyron.

good on them for having the balls to build a 1000hp street legal car.

and if your going to do it, you dont use 1 V8, use 2 of them and instead of twin turbo, you add 2 more.

kudos to Bugatti to making something thats faster than an F1 car street legal.

Bugatti. FTW.

"To safely and reliably accelerate to 400km/h, the Veyron makes use of custom-designed Michelin tyres, which utilise what has termed the Pax system. The tyres are capable of dealing with the stress of 400km/h speeds, and they also have a special pressure monitoring system and run-flat capability, so that even in the event of a high-speed puncture, things won't go all pear shaped."

And im almost positive they will give up after 50 minutes at 400km/h not 15 minutes...

i think the fuel doesnt last that long either. and going off what i saw on top gear you need somewhere very very very straight and smooth.

This is all your opinion on the aesthetics and the passion.. A lot of people would actually find the Bugatti a much more passionate vehicle due to the beautiful leather interior and finishing inside the vehicle. It's certainly better than any other supercar which sometimes even consist of sparse and lightweight but ugly interiors.

NO acceleration and top speed dont make a supercar, but the Veyron is a lot more than just that. The Bugatti wont snap on you and send you flying into the forest at 200+km/h if you dont behave properly like some other supercars. How many cars can do 350km/h+ and NOT sound like they are about to break up... The Veyron doing over 400km/h is a civilised and comfortable car to drive. That demands a huge amount of respect IMO. Stability at speed is something that not many manufacturers have mastered!!

You might not like how it looks, and you might not understand the passion. I'm sure there are just as many people out there who disagree with you completely! :unsure:

it says in the article "Hopefully the driver got out unscathed"

stuff that i hope he got hurt (not badly) but he better have bruised something

more proof ... just cause you got enough dollars to buy a supercar doesnt mean you got enough sense to own one

i think the Veyron will be the best car ever made...because the way we are going with the oil situation... it will be the last over the top supercar ever made

it will last 12 mins.... but in those 12 mins you could drive about 80kms.

i don't like the red guards and bonnet. much prefer it all black.

any car where you have to put a key into a slot to put it into "go stupidly fast!!" mode is a winner in my book.

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months

      There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By Duncan · Posted

      interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.

      That's how it seems to me to. For the people that want huge power RBs (which it has been shown to do), this is great news, but that is not the same as trying to bring an rb 30 years forward....its not clear that there is a market of people who would pay 10s of thousands to do that
