    I guess the big difference is the Veyron does it reliably, forgetting about the mega running costs etc. If you run the Veyron on the edge like the other cars I am sure it would be a fair bit quicker.

    And it weighs the same as a small planet.

    Agreed gents.

    The difference with those other cars is that it's like all hell breaking loose. Crazy scary parachuting madness. In the Bugatti it will be all done in a superior waft fashion over and over again without incident.

    If only that were true with the old ones, they couldn't be any more unreliable, out of control and skittish!

    If you compare it to some of the other super cars, that only run 12s, its damn quick.

    There's a good vid on YouTube of that mk1 golf beating a veyron down the 1/4 mile.

    If that were true there'd have been a recall to have fitted an oversized pair of pants that shoot out the back after every 10 seconds of straight line WOT.
