I'm a firm believer that every car needs a HP gauge in the dash

No shit, I bought a car from that dealership a little while back. I'm going to have to swing by and check it out.
Redline has had some insane cars there lately, All black Enzo with black wheels, wide body Gallardo, and some other wild stuff. They are definitely raising the bar.
speaking of the Enzo - the latest road test I read on the Veyron commented that if you gave the Enzo 15 seconds head start - the Veyron would still beat it to 300kph (188mph)...
I honestly don't think it looks all that cool.... Looks too weird. I like petite, curvy women. This one is chubby and has no ass. Her back is too straight and her nose is too short.

I think it looks badass when you take all things in to consideration... Basically the whole goal for the team was to create a car that can go REALLY, REALLY fucking fast and get to those speeds REALLY, REALLY fucking fast, while still having a relatively comfortable vehicle. Realistically they should steal BMW's slogan of "the ultimate driving machine" for this car.
Let's see you build a car with a 16 cylinder block, 10 radiators, 4 turbos, a full-blown luxury interior, while still being relatively light weight and the aerodynamics to achieve these speeds somewhat "safely" (I use the term loosely since it DOES go 252+ mph).
In my opinion, this thing is the epitome of badass... Sure the looks of both the exterior or interior aren't for everyone, but Torquemonster's post definitely puts this whole thing in to perspective, since the Enzo "ain't no slouch" either.
..... while still being relatively light weight and the aerodynamics to achieve these speeds somewhat "safely" (I use the term loosely since it DOES go 252+ mph)....
Well, I think the Venom1000 looks TONNNNNNNNSSSSSSS better and goes pretty fast.
About the Enzo thing.... So you guys mean to tell me that an Enzo can have a 15 sec head start and the Veryron will catch it on a top speed race? May be possible, but the Enzo is what, a high 10 sec car in the 1/4. So lets say the Enzo is reaching approx 130MPH in 10 seconds. Then, in another 5 seconds it should be close to 150. So it's going 150mph now in it's 15 second head start. How is anything going to catch up to a car going 150+mph in 15 seconds? The race is still going on....when the Enzo is roughley at about 160MPH, the Veryon launches at the line and begins to play catch up. I know the Veryon is NOT an 8 second car in the 1/4, so lets say it can do a 9 sec pass. Now we are giving the Enzo another 8 seconds, for the Bugatti to even get to it's 150 MPH mark. So the Enzo WAS doing about 160MPH before Bugatti even launched (+ 8 more seconds during the Veryon run), maybe about 175MPH now, when the Veryon passes the 1/4 mile mark. The Veryon is now climbing from it's 145mph mark to reach the 188mph, yet the Enzo is only a few miles per hour off (roughley about 10 MPH away from reaching 188MPH). Now I know at these top speeds, it takes longer to achieve high MPH, than a few secs in a 1/4 mile pass.
Lets give them both another 10 seconds.... Is the Bugatti going to reach 188mph from 145mph in 10 seconds first, or the Enzo going to reach 188mph from 175mph first? Remember, the Enzo is a pretty darn fast car too.... Like I said it may be possible, but when you start putting numbers into perspective, I don't think the Enzo would need a 15 sec head start. Maybe a 5 or 10 second at the MAX!

How much do these things cost? Over a million? I hope to God they can do all that for over a million dollars. Sure it's fast, but you can do a hell of a lot more with the money than waste it on a car that doesn't even look that great.
We can bench race all day long... it could be slightly different on what the start is, but until someone **cough**Krazy**cough** buys one and gives it a go, we'll never know exactly -- all that can be said is the car is THAT blistering fast. In many instances Jeremy Clarkson is full of shit and just spitting out random b.s. on Top Gear; however he made a similar comparison with the Veyron vs. the McLaren F1 (giving it a head-start) and that car supposedly loses too.
Like I stated before and as many others state in their reviews, this car was built as a project that is more or less "the final say" in production vehicles. Sure other vehicles can be built to try to compare, but much like a guy in a Viper vs. an 800 fwhp Honda would say, "it's still a Honda."
Enzo does 0-186 in 26.1 seconds. Supposedly the Veyron does it in 16.7 seconds. Chad's Viper does it in about 8.1 or 8.2. Nuff said. (Yeah ricer mentality). But in all honesty, I am not impressed by this car. The aerodynamics are so bad that it needs a bank of computers to handle it and the only thing that separates this car from an overweight blob is four turbos. If I was gonna spend anywhere near this much, I would buy the Saleen with all the interior upgrades and the big engine performance package, whatever it is-- 1000 HP I think. Either that or the Zonda F which has about the same power to weight and acceleration, better handling/ braking, a better engine note, and a still very high top speed. The AWD is nice, but with good traction control in the engine management, a RWD car can still be damn good. Just look at Gary Javo's car. All that had was boost by gear and it still seemed totally drivable. I guarantee a Zonda F beats this things ass on all but the longest race tracks.
We're comparing two VERY different cars here my friend... I have absolutely no argument against Chad's car being a work of art in and of itself. Javo's car? Shit, what car lover on the internet hasn't drooled over his videos? To say another car out there can't be BUILT to perform as the Veryon does is silly; money can build anything - this site is a perfect example of that statement.
The Zonda F and Saleen are also badass; near the top of the "badass" list in fact, but still not the Veyron. It's sad that an engineering student wouldn't be drooling over this marvel. Bad aerodynamics? Tell me what kind of drag coefficient it takes for a car to be stable up to 200 mph - this thing goes over 25% faster than that and the technology that goes in to the wing on this thing has more R&D than most cars on the road (when not in “high speed mode”, of course)...
Plain and simple, you can build a car to perform as the Veyron... maybe even out-perform in some categories, but overall, right now and probably for some time, it's the bottom-line.

I wonder what the Bugatti sounds like? I LOVE the zonda! I would love to hear the Veryon!
