Impressive to say the least. Not feeling the orange wheels one bit, but for a car that can put up those numbers, it can be bright pink for all it matters. :wow ---

Just read the article… it actually almost hit 270! The fastest I’ve gone is around 170ish (on a closed course)… I can’t imagine getting passed like I wasn’t moving. ---

Unreal. I wonder how long it took them to get there, or what the car would do at the TX mile. While an amazing feat, that car is damn ugly. I wonder how much faster the car would go with the pig nose filled in. ---

For going that fast, the car looks to have a pretty short wheelbase and little aero. Must be a fun ride. ---

I’d like to see a list of STREET CARS (working AC, pump gas, mufflers, DOT tires, etc), that would take out this Veyron 0-150-0. The cars listed below are the ones that I think would beat it- . ---

well a run of the mill Veyron does the 1/4 in 10.2 seconds @ 144 mph, so that gives you an idea of where its at as far as 0-150 i do know of a car that does 0-200-0 in under 20 seconds, but sadly it doesnt have AC or run on 93 octane(Q16) muffler and dot street tires though. it is registered and inspected in its home state though ---

I don’t think it’d do low nines, but easily in the high-mid 9 range. You gotta think, once you’re getting down that low in times, it takes a lot more power than it would if the car was slower. ---

I’ll agree to disagree, as long as it’s got 200 more HP and weighs 600 lbs less, a second will be shaven off. Just look at what a 100 shot did for SSSSS…oh wait…:hug ---
