I doubt the Saleen would have the handling or braking package that the Bugatti has. Could the Saleen box handle the grunt? The tyres? Bugatti has looked at these issues and had the dollars to support the R&D. Naturally time (and customers) will tell if they got it right. I think the Bugatti would have more visual impact driving around than the Saleen whose shape has been around for years.

I'd choose the Bugatti.

It's easy to beat 400 in a straight line (well relatively ;-)

Put them both on the Nurburgring and see who wins over say 10 laps.

My money is on the Bugatti

True, Americans only know how to make their cars go fast in a straight line still.

Yes, the bugatti is not just a 1000hp 4wd silly car

It really is a true push the limit of technology and physics pure racecar

Its basically a formula one equivelant road car with a warranty and reliablity way past 2 races :)

Yeah you could build a 1000hp GTR for 1/10th the price. But it would never be the same as the rediculously engineered veyron

It has set a benchmark that no company can reach, not without a billion dollars and the equivelant 7 or whatever years of development

And by then, they will have updated the veyron even more

You're right.

Because Volkswagen wanted to commemorate their rich F1 history, by building a car that weighs over 2 tons (which says "F1 technology" to me).

It will be a true, BEAST.......... .... ... when it gets released!

haha

Have a look at this page

http://www.bugattipage.com/ride.htm

On another note, how often do you think you will be cruising at 400km/h in Australia. This car is way too much for Australia, specially on our crappy roads. Give me this in germany, AUTOBAHN BABY!

From that webpage

EPA city driving: 7 mpg = 40L/100

EPA highway driving: 10 mpg = 28L/100

Steady 253 mph: 3 mpg = 95L/100

Now stop whining about your bad "13L/100" fuel economy! hahahaha

note the word basically mate :P

and considering its faster than ferrari's 2005 spec F1 car AND weighs more than 1400kg more than it ...

Faster in a straight line only.

U will have to take the thing to a place like NT to get close to even 400 licks here in aus.

I think linsay fox has ordered one for his car museum here in vic so we might get to see one in person.

If they are only making em left hand drive like the carrera gt and enzo then we won’t see them on the road here in aus anyway.

i don't know how much of you know they Saleen, for those who watch top gear and some discovery channel show which reviewed all the current supercars, you would know that the saleen S7, not this new one, but the current one, can hold its own weight in down force. It can literally drive up-side-down apparently. It doesn't need 4wd because it has also been well designed.

People who read Jeremy Clarkson's review of the veyron would know that its top speed cuts down to about 340 or 360 (can't remember exactly) when the wing is up, otherwise it would be wayy too dangerous.

I'd take the saleen.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
