The point I was trying to get across is that mass in isolation does determine the accel rate. There are many other factors that play into this.
Except that isn't what you said.. You said it wasnt directly related, which it is. Of course theres many factors, but anyone who doesnt think it is significant is quite honestly a fool.

Specifically, I was irritated by the general statement that because the Veyron weighs 'x', it cannot do 'y'. That's like saying: because a car has a 4 cylinder engine, it cannot travel faster than 'y' mph.
No, its like saying that the best 4 cylinder will never produce as much power as the best 12 cylinder. Which is true. We aren't comparing a pinto to the veryon here, we're talking about the freaking enzo..
