if there is a place where Veyron can beat Zonda it is the ring. a highspeed track suit the Veyron.

Yes of course it will fair well on a high speed track, but i have feeling it will be the opposite.

For instance and slightly off topic the Murcielago 6.2 was always slower than the Zonda S on the Nurburgring (7:44 vs 7:52) but when it came to the Hockenheim the Zonda was just .2 tenths ahead of the Murcielago (1:11.8 vs 1:12.0) So, when the LP640 gets tested i won't be surprised if it beats or matches the Zonda F. I have a feeling it will be the same for the Veyron, but maybe not...maybe it pulls rather sluggish in the tight corners of the hockenheim... but i wouldn't count it out

Who knows

It'll be interesting when it's finally tested, according to Axel J Zahn (from Supercars.net) the Veyron super test will come next year.

Re: Veyron 7.40 min around Nurnburgring

7.4 is good enough for me. I really didn't expect the Veyron to be quicker then the Zonda or CGT. Despite all the power agility and weight is much more important.
