I'm more of an open-mike'er that takes a lemon to the face than a rockstar :P ...not one musical tone in me. I do like to keep interesting company though.

Yeah the Veyron is something else all together.
Strangely enough, it wasn't the savagery that this beast unleashed in any gear, that took me by surprise - it was the fact that in normal city driving, it felt and drove as comfortable as a luxury sport sedan. Just blew my mind how comfortable it was. The car is a true jackle and hyde!

My 430 was a pos in the limited time I had it.

Gt2 was amazing during bits ownership and driven so hard, mostly on the track, yes I maintained it well.... But still

My Gallardo? Freaking FLAWLESS... And I drive it as hard as the gt2 on the street, reliable as can be, an amazing car !

I'd only drive german now a days or German Italians

Outside of the 918, the bugatti, is the next step up for a TT owner IMHO. It's not flashy and all about the engineering (if you have an extra $1.8M burning a hole in your pocket - common, who hasn't)!




...and taking the grand sport for a spin...

I think you're right; the next step up from the technological masterpiece of an automobile that is the Porsche TTS, is the Bugatti at 6+ times the cost.
