At this exact moment i can only afford a F430, with the magnifiscent prancing horse logo in the front... and im paying just 1/4 the prize of a Veyron which is just a to seconds faster to 60, i mean for Heavens sake who is gonna pay 750K more to go 2 SECONDS faster, is just not rational... again impressed... no,
If im paying 1.1M for a car it should go to 60 in 2.8 secs after all...]]>Jun 29th 2006 1:28AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/A week ago that Ultima GTR did it in 9.4 secs and you can build it at home for a lot less than a million.]]>Jun 29th 2006 1:51AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/Jun 29th 2006 10:08AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/Jun 29th 2006 10:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/Jun 29th 2006 10:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/Apr 27th 2008 8:15AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/Jun 29th 2006 10:30AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/
Regardless, any car/bike that can do this in under 15 seconds is stupid fast regardless of price.]]>Jun 29th 2006 10:31AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/
I guess the Altima guy missed the point that the Veyron is still a no compromise luxury car (and work of art). No matter what one does to an Altima, it's still going to be a modified Altima regardless of how impressive it becomes, or the skill of the builder. This reminds me of my redneck friends who claim that their Camaros or 'stangs are superior to option X, Y, or Z, simply because they've dumped all their money in achieving low 1/4 mile times. If that's all you judge a car by, so be it...]]>Jun 29th 2006 10:36AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/
When it comes down to it you will see fewer Ultimas on the road then Veyrons. (unless your go to an ultima carshow or something). The Ultima will be way cheaper to fix, and you will be able to service it at more places. The Ultima is still faster 0-100-0 then the Veyron, and give the Ultima 1000 hp and it will get the Veyron more then it does already.

If you want to begin comparing women and cars, jessica alba, you just start out in the wrong. When it comes down to it, you want a girl who can be hot naturally but who is understated and low maintanence. A girl who is fast and can thrill, and will always be a thrill. The Ultima is that women.

You most remember and this is important, Jessica Alba is just a women. At the end of the day she still has a period and will get mad, and yell, all the things that your current women does(if you have a woman). So who cares?!? ]]>Jun 29th 2006 10:39AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/
Still, for the money you can't beat a bike. 2nd only to a 1000hp uber rare supercar (and the Ultima).

$10,000 Liter bike > $1,000,000 Bugatti supercar! ]]>Jun 29th 2006 10:47AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/It's an Ultima GTR, not an Altima. Two very different cars. Here's a link to the AutoBlog post about the Ultima's record setting time:

Do you actually think the kind of people who would buy a Bugatti Veyron are even remotely thinking of fuel economy?

Just for kicks, though, it's apparently 7/10 city/highway: http://www.bugattipage.com/ride.htm


["What's amazing to me is that the Ultima beat the Veyron with 350 LESS horsepower, and without the benefit of AWD, traction control or ABS. I think there is something to be said for keeping it simple."]

The guy has a point...simple, lightweight engineering has always been a favorite of mine as well.]]>Jun 29th 2006 11:05AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/
That's gotta hurt.]]>Jun 29th 2006 11:13AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/
You can drive the Bugatti for 10 hours like a GT and be entirely comfortable, the Ultima just isn't like that. It's an engine with a bunch of lightweight parts somewhat attached to it as a performance platform.

Look at the interior for example:

Now look at the Bugatti:

The Ultima isn't really a supercar, it's a track-based kit-car that's done the minimum to be streel legal. Apples and oranges.]]>Jun 29th 2006 11:20AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/Jun 29th 2006 11:22AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/bugatti-veyron-0-100-0-in-9-9-sec/Jun 29th 2006 11:26AM
