Meh,

It's rich-guy rice.

Custom interior, some carbon fiber pieces, chrome bits and LEDs.

1109hp is roughly 10% increase over stock. I'd expect a bit more for $1mil bucks. :idk:

Can you feel the difference between 1000hp and 1109hp?
I think I'd go pleasantly numb somewhere around 750hp... anything after that is just icing.

It's definitely an improvement in looks.......The regular one has that wack 2-tone thing going on.

Could I?

Probably not.

But for that much money, I'd want a hell of a lot more icing! :lol:

I actually *like* that "wack" 2-tone thing... the black & royal blue reminds me of my favorite Hayabusa colors. ('01 or '02, I forget)

And shmike... if we get down to brass tacks, I don't think they make the kind of icing that would make me spend a million on a car.
I could own a fleet of fun cars & motorcycles for less.

I wonder what the weight is vs stock... I mean its a fairly impressive car and all, but for the price I hope they give you more than a 10% increase in power over stock.

Though less fancy, I'd opt for an LS7 powered Factory Five GTM. :dthumb:
I find no shame in rocking an ass-kicking kit car. :lol:

Oh yeah, those are sweet.
ZERO creature comforts, all business.
I'd actually be a heretic... skip the race graphics and make the interior daily driver friendly. :scared:

The Veyron is getting very "Meh" lately.

So, it is nearly as fast as a Busa/ZX12/14/Literbike in acceleration, and it is about as fast as a turbo busa in top speed.

It is expensive(I read a set of tires costs $25K and they have to be installed in France), heavy, ugly and overhyped.

Plus it is a VW, so nothing electrical will work after 2010.

i liked the Pur Sang (unpainted, polished aluminum) better... gotta love blinding other drivers on a sunny day! :lol

Really, I can't get too excited about any car that costs more than my house. It's like, OK, you throw a bunch of money at it and you can build a car with really impressive numbers. Next year someone will make a more expensive one with bigger numbers. What does it all mean to me? :idk:

I was a passenger in an atom once, crazy car, yeh there is nothing like it short of riding a bike. And the seven is almost as good. The one I had was equipped with a 13bt, and it had a on of problems just keeping traction
