    Yeah that's right call me a troll because you have nothing better to say. You still haven't answered what's faster than a Veyron.

    You think that you'll be able to fully enjoy 1000 + bhp on an A road? Get real. Average people will not get to experience the kick in the back from such a powerful car.
    Already answered in my first post in this thread pal.

    Plenty of folk out there with cars with 1000bhp. I know one guy with a ford model T. Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it isn't real.

    No you didn't. You made a right tool of yourself didn't you?

    You know a guy with a Ford Model T that's faster than a Veyron?

    I know a guy with a model T running almost 1000bhp, yes.
    Sorry pal, but there are folk out there who know a little bit more about cars than what you happen to watch on top gear. Some of us actually get our hands dirty on a daily basis and occasionally get to spanner on some propperly quick cars.

    A Veyron will run the quater mile in around 10.1 seconds @ 150ish mph.
    I've seen as mundane stuff such as mk1 ford escorts run 9 seccond passes.

    No windshield! It'd feel like a sandblasting every time you hit a 30mph road
    haha, bring on the g-force

    Since when have bhp and torque figures indicated top speed?
    Torque doesn't; it's power and the drag coefficient that matter when we're talking about top speed.

    The article doesn't say anything about the drag coefficient, though, any info on it anyone?

    im not a car boff by any means but i called bullcrap when i saw the thread title, and i still call bullcrap after reading the article
    id like to see this in a race with the bugatti veyron super sport... the only reason that car was made was just to beat the previous contender that beat the original veyron
    may be a bit biased given it makes me think "OMGWTFBOBAFETT so cool" but meh
    que the "you aint a car boff gtfo"
