Yeah, I know, this ain't your Daddy's hot rod but damn it's fun. Speed and HP is Speed and HP no matter how it's packaged. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMBCw6fJfEA Video of Bugatti Veyron at top speed if you haven't already seen it.
I don't know how he was able to speak at 253 mph--I'd be more worried about driving than narrating, especially if I was wearing that little Earnhardt Special helmet. Straightline or no, that's fast.
a truly stunning car..... fact...at top speed the tyres will wear out in 15 mins but that's OK 'cos it runs out of fuel in 12 mins and on Top Gear they call James May "Captain Slow!!"
I just have trouble getting excited about a car that is completely and utterly outside the realm of possibility for me to ever drive let alone own. I also think it'd drive me nuts to have a car I'd be afraid to work on myself. I wouldn't want to touch a thing on a car like that. Let the dealership add washer fluid, I'm not even opening the hood.
