Me either. There is no way you could pay me enough to say that car is nice looking KRAZY.

Just go ahead and try! Seriously, let's see if you can do it. I'll send you a list of my income tax owing, credit cards, line of credit and mortgage. We'll start at that figure and work up.
There is NO WAY you are going to come up with a figure high enough to get me to publically admit that the Veyron is nice!

I'll also send you my bank account number in the very rare chance that you can come up with a figure that high, and I'll publically say that it is nice....but....NO WAY! You won't win this one KRAZY!!

Genetic, right now, Krazy Jr. is sitting on his dad's lap looking at your post and then back up at his dad with an expression that says, "Pop, does this guy think we're gonna fall for this?"

A+ for effort though.

Oops, I better be quiet then. I don't want to upset Krazy jr! I'm still waiting to see if he'll give me a job in one of the companies he probably owns by now.

I'm sure you'd grow to like it if one was given to you.

Actually, I heard he just hired a new personal staff. Mary Poppins is his nanny, Martha Stewart is his housekeeper, Wolfgang Puck is doing his cooking, Chuck Norris is the bodyguard, and who else for his driver but Michael Schumacher.

He may be in the market for someone to carry his dirty diapers out for him though, which may have benefits all its own since I understand Mary Poppins cleans his ass with hundred dollar bills instead of wet wipes.

WAR HE'S JUST A LITTLE KRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw a red Enzo cruising the area last week and that Paul Mitchell hair spray dude was driving it.

I'd have a Veyron over an Enzo in a heartbeat.

The Enzo would be useless around here with that ridiculous front overhang - too many places it just cannot go to be even close to useful.

The Veyron on the other hand would go most places...

even in the snow

it'd be a GT that'd be a joy to drive every chance I got...

which right now is

no chance

The car is ugly as all get out. It maybe fast but I predict it will go do in value much like a XJ220.

only by the noobs that can only afford an opinion on it.

Those lucky enough to actually own one will have a different opinion.

Some of the harshest critics have changed their views 180 degrees after testing this car - and the verdict has been pretty much unanimous - this is the best real road car ever built... and many think that may EVER be built into the foreseeable future because to top it cannot be justified economically.

it's not just about the speed - it's the whole package and this car has no peer that even comes close.

You can DIAL UP and talk on your cell phone at 300kph+ for goodness sake. It is like a Bently that drives like a Ferrari but also goes where neither will with its awd, and outruns anything on 2 or 4 wheels with a factory warranty - without any of the harsh compromises an Enzo etc requires.

the guys who spew all over it make me laugh... who cares if it's grill looks like a fishs mouth - this car rocks. It is the pinnacle of motor engineering. Where a road car has to be a compromise in so many areas - this takes it to a whole new level where there are no other players.

Euro AWD's are great in the snow. I saw a 911 on the Nurb in winter on TV once.

I have seen and heard praises of how the Lamoborghini Murcielago handles in the snow.

most players who can afford to have an Enzo or Veyron can have both if they want to. i know of one guy in FL who has a Veyron and FXX now with another Veyron coming in for his wife.

That's insane. An FXX is bad news for the competition and the bank account, hell, so are the others.

Off track: Dude, to end this whole Veyron vs TT Viper thing, why don't they just run a standing mile in it? 1000 hp doesn't compensate THAT good for 2 tons, (referring to the Veyron). Just ask SVS, 945 rwhp for 247 mph at Bonneville. Using the performance numbers for your TT Coupe, I find your claim of 255 to be right on. The way I see it you've got this one in the bag already.
