I was surprised at first, but then realized they had'nt even started the race, and the Veyron pulls HARD!

Its Amazing just how much traction the Veyron has,it looked very controlable but very hard pulling power,it made the SLR look slow.

I believe a Zonda F would be more than enough to hang (it's got a little better power to weight ratio than the 4,150 lbs Veryon). The Zonda F handles & brakes better - with open air comfort to boot. You can always opt for the Zonda R coupe (750 Hp vs 650 Hp found in the "F") but it's more than twice the money - not really worth it. I guess when you spend $700k vs. $1.5M, what's the diff?

I'm getting me a Zonda F (may take me 10 yrs but I've got to have one - that thing rocks).

It seemed that Veyron has some boost lag.

In the last run the SLR jumped ahead slightly.

I'd pay money to see either Divexx or Marksi race a Veyron.
