shit son, i’ll store that thing indefinitely up here…

Sadly, this is not uncommon in this car and a good number of these have caught fire(both track and street cars). Hell both GTR’s on the Gulf team went up in flames in the '97 season. It’s said that there is lack of airflow around those inconel headers in the bay and it eventually sets shit alight under the bonnet. 24K gold foil reflectant or not, that motor puts out a boatload of heat under there.

at least it was one of the boring silver ones.

Best street car ever produced, and I think it’ll hold that title for a long time.

Define “best”.

It’s not the fastest, not the most expensive, not the most over engineered (but close).

I’ll play a little devils advocate :ahh

It’s just my personal opinion. The Enzo looks like ass and is slower, and anything else that is ‘faster’ that is 2wd just has an excess amount of unusable power for the street. Sure, the Veyron accelerates faster, but not by a whole lot (F1’s have trapped as high as 138 stock) but weighs a ton (over 2 actually) and looks like ass doing it.

Veyron traps low 140’s and I’ve seen the F1 trap in the mid-high 130’s.

McLaren’s homepage shows the car running 11.1@138. Assuming that this is true (and manufacturers normally are pretty close), the Veryon would obviously beat it, but there is no way in hell the Veyron is going to do what JC said it would do.
