no matter who won, the F1 still shits all over the Veyron

Even if the bugati wins, its still the inferior car?


You really are chromosome deficient.. :lol:

I was waiting for the:

"Well if you invested the difference in price into the F1, it could be just as fast!"

or

"Well the F1 is 15 years old, of course it is going to be slower!"

crowd.

I guess the:

"My favorite car is still the best EVAR!"

works just as well. :lol:






Cool video. Two totally bad-assed cars.

cuz speed alone is the judge of inferior/superior?

how about handling and looks? both of which the F1 is superior

the front end of the Veyron looks stupid IMO, and the thing is a lot heavier than the F1

I'll take purity over complexity anyday.

There will eventually be faster cars than the Bugatti. That's progress.
There will never be another car like the McLaren.

The future is all safety nannies and "driver assistance" stuff that seperates people and machine. Dual clutch transmission (aka automatic transmission), stabilty control, launch control....in the end stuff that prevents you from having control.

Top gear test board, Veyron is 6. Ahead of Ferraris, Lambos..

While there's no Mclaren.. I'm quite sure it doesn't "shit" all over the Bugati.

The Koenigsegg CCX is #4 on their board...cool.

WITH the wing. The Stig spun out with the pre-wing model. So, they put one on and sent it back..

Yep I remember that about the wing.

*edit* Oops...it was actually #3 instead of #4...even better. :lol:

I'd take the F1 for sure...the best buy for the money on that Top Gear list is in #12 though.

Just one man's opinion.

I'm a life-long Porsche fan.

That said, at 1/3 the price, #13 is more bang per buck.

Bang for the buck = Caterham Seven R500 FTMFWB! :rockwoot: :rockwoot: :rockwoot:

I would bet money that the F1 would beat the Veyron's time on the TG track. It's a street-legal race car. The Bugatti is an elite Grand Touring car. They serve different purposes. Personally, I'd take the Bugatti :idk:

The Caterham is without question, one of the best cars on that list.

In current trim, though, I believe it is as pricey if not more than the Atom.

I'd be willing to pay more for the R500 than for the Atom... not only does it have a windshield, but it beat the Atom by a second and a half!

Caterham USA is listing Superlight rollers for $44k, figure $20-$30k for a drivetrain and you can beat an Enzo or a MC512 on the track? For a track toy, that's a mind-blowing value :willy:

Can't argue with that logic. :cheers:

I'll take the F1. Well if they ever build a straight track that goes completely around the world then the Bug.
