the point is that if you want pure acceleration, just build a drag car, if you want a useable car, go for a Veyron, although I hanker after a GT3, corners exist near my house, and the way you go round them is more important than full on speed.

In fact, I have had some seriously satisfying times in an Astra 1.6 recently, just because it woud not go any faster along that road than it did, power is not the be all and end all.
