I'd like to see a race between the Veyron and a PorscheGT3, because I hear the Z06 beats both.

No surprise but at the same time it kinda makes your jaw drop seeing how hard that thing can pull against a SLR.

GT3 is a great handling car, and might be able to hang with a Veyron on a circuit, but neither it nor a Z06 would have a prayer against the Veyron in a run like they showed on the video- they would both be embarassed.

Do you have any supporting documentation to prove (validate) your point?

Published figures-
0-100 times
C6 Z06 - 7.9 seconds
997 GT3 - 8.7 seconds
Bugatti Veyron - 5.7 seconds.

The Veyron goes from 0-100-0 in 9.9 seconds.

The GT3 is a great car in it's own right, but the Bugatti is in another league.

Some additional information about the Veyron:

To put the figures into perspective "the last really fast car I drove was Ferrari’s 599 GTB Fiorano. Hardly a slouch, the 599 reaches 62mph in 3.7 seconds and 124mph in 11 seconds. But drive the Ferrari 599 past a stationary Veyron at 62mph during its 11 second 124mph sprint and the Bugatti will catch up by the time the Italian reaches 124mph."

And:
"On the way to that headline 253mph top speed it’ll reach 62mph in just 2.5 seconds, 124mph in 7.3 seconds and 186mph in 16.7 seconds."

JD, I am completely joking

I'd take the Z06 and/or GT3 for better fuel economy.... JUST KIDDING AGAIN.

Those cars aren't in the same league as the Bugatti.I would love to own one but my wife and I have a slight disagreement on spending 1.3 Mil on a car.O well!!The Bugatti in my opinion is the most amazing production car ever built.Need to work a few more hours.Maybe I can convince the wife.

Sounded like the SLR was in the wrong gear?
