New Veyron Test
I said to myself no more veyron-related posts, after the last one (that was blown out of proportion by some new user's comments ;) but nevertheless here it is :)

Wow, 10.2s @142mph - that is the fastest time/speed I have heard recorded to date!
Does anyone know what the fastest (credible) street bike (with street tires) can do?? |

10.2s @ 142mph for 1 million dollars and 1000hp and computer controller 4wd is pretty lame. There are literally hundred of street tyred daily drivers with aroun 600hp that run those trap speeds and E/T's - and thousands and thousands of stock ZX12's, ZX14's and Busas. Quote:
In the mean time, regular folks can have 10s 1/4s on their $10,000 street bikes and 600hp modified V8's :P **yawn** |
So, you're saying that there are only 2 street bike that it is possible to get a better trap time with?
Tell me, would you be willing to bet on the average Busa owner beating the average Veyron (yeah, I know what your thinking) owner to a 1/4 mi race? Remember, all the rich fat guy has to do is engage launch control and press the loud pedal. He doesn't even have to steer, ride out a clutch, or anything. The Busa rider, has somewhat more to do to run low 10s. Heaven forbid they have to run the best of 5. This is the result of technology/engineering. |

To run low tens you point and squirt.. the same as the Veyron driver. And again - for 1 million dollars, super computer aids, 4wd and 1000hp if it couldn't run 10.2s it would be even more of a bucket of shit than it is. |

Those cars are not brutal drag slick tyre mosters with no use anywhere else ;) |
can you put the air con on with your friend on the back of the bike and smoke a cigaret at the same time whilst doing 180 mph+
i thought not! |
This car is one fast beast... :twisted:

Ever single other 600hp car out there can achieve the same thing.. so whats your point? |

As an example - many accomplished Z06, GT3, F360, SL55, CLS500 and M3 drivers can make their cars consistantly beat the "factory" claimed figurs on road courses and drag strips. The same is true for many, many, many motorcycle enthusiasts. I am not sure where you are from, but whether in the UK or the US or even South Afrcia, there are enthusiasts that propel their vehicles to fanatastic times even as weekend warriors at race tracks all over. To assume otherwise is rather foolish. Note I didnt say all, or even most - but some are VERY competant.. and yes, the majority are just magazine reading posers.. but those are not the drivers/riders being discussed. |
I'll spank a Veyron on my bike every single race until about 150 when aerodynamics start to really come into play. :D :D :D :D :wink:

Like I said before, even if you are capable of pulling sub 10s (on demand) on your nifty bike, its only a matter of when, not if, the Veyron will blow your spokes off. Since its doing 140mph+ at the 1/4, you would be pretty depressed by the end of the standing km (I know this isn't a 'metric' often used by Americans). I have never understood why people are so negative about the Veyron. It's not like VW Group made it out to be anything other than what it is: The most capable GT car of this era. I don't think any semi-intelligent individual would claim that it was intended to compete with an Elise, or even a Mac F1, for that matter. It just happens to accelerate faster and have a higher top speed than any other engineered production car to date. For the record, I believe it also accomplishes the highest recorded deceleration rate of >1.6g, above 375 km/h (just in case you were interested). |
^^^^
The Veyron in terms of all its abilities versus it's competitors is much much much greater then the McLaren F1 ever claimed it was. The McLaren was never a good handler, nor did it have good brakes, or steering feeling. The Veyron after much testing is good at all of these, and even has substantial G load limits that the F1 would've swapped sides with... even in professional racing drivers' hands like Darek Bell LOL. Sure, the Veyron did the same thing under testing conditions, but its current serial mark is a new generation already vs. what was delivered this past summer... They are continualy making improvements to the car; where this just didnt' happen over at Macca's shop... |
