That's all fine and well, but it's only useful if it has 10 miles of road to get there. There are a number of cars running around the streets these days that will/do absolutely embarrass a Veyron in a mile or less.

How many of those can do 260+ and drive across country in comfort?

The only roads long enough for a Veyron to hit 268 MPH aren't exactly roads you want to travel on doing those speeds.

A veyron is ann extremely nice car with the potential to go fast. It's a mechanical dream car, but it's still just an item to show off your wealth. The people that buy that car could care less about doing 268 MPH.

You are also talking about HEAVILY modified cars compared to a stock car as well. This stock car however built strictly for speed and stability. I would probably trust it too at 200+ over anything else.



Anywho, to get back on topic. This vette is SICK! However I'd never buy one if I could. For $100k+ I'd much rather seek out something either more exotic or build up something that is more of an underdog.
