How many cars do 260+ modded or not on the streets and are stable to boot.

I'm pretty sure that Bette will be 125+.

What I said. I watched a doc on the veyron and the things did to make that car do what it does are nothing short of spectacular. The wing alone is something amazing. It's just as stable a 250 as most cars at 120.

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.

Someone's got a clue.

Everything on the Veyron is meticulously scrutinized. Even if another car could travel the same speed and have the same acceleration, it will never be as good a car as a Veyron. People that buy Veyrons don't give two poops what someone's LS swapped Miata can do.

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.

You can build a car comparable, if not exceeding the Veyron in every aspect for probably half the cost if you have the means and knowledge to do so.

Like I said, the Veyron is a status symbol more than it is a true enthusiast car. Now the Koenigsegg Agrea R is a completely different story.

Very true, to be honest I don't know why we are even comparing $1million sports cars to $100k cars. I simply made the statement that I would feel safer in one as apposed to some hawked up TT gallardo.
