It sounded like the benz was staying in each gear way too long... might not make a big difference but still. And the SLR in green is not lookin so good.

Rep...never mind

The Bugatti is simply amazing. Anyone wonder if Porsche will ever answer the call, and produce a CGT replacment that will be faster all around than the Veyron?

crazy1323 is infamous around these parts

Porsche needs to make a limited edition Carrera GT, much like the SLR 722, except they just need to twin turbo the V-10 and make it a hard-top only. It has been shown that people will pay that much for a car. However, it costs Bugatti over three times the retail value to make one Veyron.

The Veyron is in its own league - nothing walks on it, unless it is highly modded!

Ultimately, I agree... between the two cars, the F1 offers more tactile and audible feedback, not to mention the ultra cool race car build eye candy.

It's really no problem for the guy who buys a Veyron, he probably already has an F1... and an Enzo, a CGT, a Pagani, etc.
