as old as the mclaren is, it's right on the veyron's tail, and even ahead on the first few hundred feet.

i know, it's a repost.

After reading this story I went out and beat an 8 year-old in a 100m sprint. Awesome!

I LOLed when I saw the doofus driving the M3 actually spin his tires through 1st gear while the Veyron just sat there. It's like taking a knife to a gun fight ...

Stick the Garage Saurus GTR against a Veyron and there might be something worth watching.

I think this is the point that they might have wanted to make.
The fact that it got raped in the straights (big surprise) doesn't mean anything in the twisties.

Either way, it was a pretty stupid comparo.
