Does anyone know what the fastest (credible) street bike (with street tires) can do??

The car has 1000hp, if it couldnt run at least 10.2s @ 142mph then would be an even bigger bucket of shit.
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.

Give it up already - the Veyron is nothing more than an excercise in excess that few will ever see in person let alone drive and even fewer will own.
In the mean time, regular folks can have 10s 1/4s on their $10,000 street bikes and 600hp modified V8's
