Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I won't have to make the comment after the fanboys gush about another car with major claims that's never been tested.]]>Jan 23rd 2007 3:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/http://www.dpccars.com

It isn't: the 1,001 hp the Bugatti claims are in fact around 1,080 hp.

And I don't think that kind of lack of aerodynamic sofistication can make it go faster then 300km/h without flying.

And besides, it will never compete with the luxury, confort, and usability of the Bugatti.]]>Jan 23rd 2007 8:06AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/
1001hp is just a "safe" figure...]]>Jan 23rd 2007 11:19AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/
maybe, they were afraid the Chinese would jump to copy it first]]>Jan 23rd 2007 2:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/Jan 23rd 2007 4:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/23/exclusive-melling-hellcat-final-design-includes-1-175-hp-quad-t/

I don't know how much it needs at normal speed, but for my part, way too much.
You can drive more than 400km/h, but where can you use this ability? Where do you need over a 1000PS?
Luxury and Comfort yes, but usability? Are you joking me?
The "boot" has the size of bag, you have only 2 seats and it makes you poor. Where the heck is the usability?
(Except from prawling around, naturally)
It's such a useless car and made for Dickheads to buy it and Boys to dream of it.
Lightning GT for the win!]]>Feb 8th 2008 4:16AM
