And then I'd spit on his car. Because nothing would irk someone more than spitting on their 1.5 million dollar paintjob. That's gotta be costly. And you know someone who spent 1.5 on a car would worry about how much acid in my spit was eating away at their clear. | |

The Veyron is a piece of crap. Nothing people say will convince me otherwise. It takes the Germans two times the cylinders and two times the turbos to offer a 1,000hp production car than it took Steve Saleen. And I bet Saleen doesn't lose money on every S7-TT he sells. | ||

also, nm about what I said. in the Viper you would STILL be behind at the 1 mile mark by 0.1 seconds, not ahead. saying the Veyron is crap is the dumbest thing someone can say. have you seen the video of the Viper doing 0-200 mph? it was ALL OVER the place. nothing impressive about being on the brink of death. take what I said earlier and add to it the fact that you (even if you are amazing driver) cant come close to that Viper test results on anything but a 3 lane wide highway. else, you would be putting yourself and everyone around you in danger ![]() in perfect conditions and setup (DRs, tire warmers etc) the Viper is slower to the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 mile mark. on top of that its all over the place and doesnt have the luxury and driveability of a Veyron. all of that despite the fact that the Veyorn driver didnt just open the door and put the car in top speed mode. not to mention that in the Veyron you dont have to worry about the car exploding all of a sudden the Viper may have been quicker TO 200 mph, but at 200 mph the Veyron was still ahead. so, the highly modified Viper is slower and the S7TT hits the ground at 190 mph. and those who have driven the S7 say if feels like a kit car. and next to the Veyron, it IS. put the Veyron and the Viper on a track and the Veyron will run away from it. DRs are useless for tracking and so you would need to take them off and put on some road legal tires like PS2s or something. in which case, if you watch the Viper do the 0-200 mph run, you would realize that it cant get grip in a straight line, let alone coming out of a corner and unless the track has a straight away thats longer than a mile, the Veyron will outcorner the Viper with its awd, and accelerate the Viper since the viper will never get traction and will outbrake the Viper. the Veyron is a POS that came right out of God's ass. the Venom is a POS that came out of Dodge in the form of diarrhea. in the US, I would be surprised if a Veyron owner DIDNT have a gun with him. afterall, people like you exist. now lets see VW bump of the boost a bit and lets see a retest of a Venom thats actually road legal. the one in the test didnt have cats. | |
