And that's even before I count cars I don't like the looks of (of which the Veyron is one). Then I can count the Ferrari Enzo and FXX and various Pagani Zondas.

The Veryron is impressive if you're impressed by high HP sleds just because of their HP. But hey, if I worshiped HP alone, I'd be a fan of the NHRA.

But I don't. And I don't find the Veyron impressive.]]>May 4th 2008 7:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/
Not only can it do it, it can do it stably. Based of sheer ingenuity it's the best car ever made IMO. It is the ultimate GT car.]]>May 4th 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/May 4th 2008 9:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/May 4th 2008 10:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/
This car is NOT impressive. Spectacular, amazing, remarkable - yes. But not impressive. I could build this thing too if I had the resources Bugatti had.

Koenigsegg, SSC - those are impressive.]]>May 4th 2008 10:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/May 4th 2008 11:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/May 5th 2008 1:27AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/
A Koeniggseg, SSc Aero etc, is not. Those are just carbon fibre shells with powerfull engines in it.

And people who have actually driven the Veyron, Mclaren F1, Koenigsegg, Pagani etc also say the Veyron is the most impressive.]]>May 5th 2008 7:07AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/
Wow, what an amazingly useless thing to say. You could build any car any company ever made if you had all their resources too, sheesh. I find it interesting that most anyone not 'impressed' by the Veyron usually ends up sounding like petulant child who's jealous about not getting a toy they want.]]>May 5th 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/another-bloody-veyron-presenting-the-sang-noir/
That's because they were designed in the wind tunnel and they helped make the car cut through the air easier. The Veyron was just designed which is why it's drag coefficient is so horrible. So they had to devise ways where the car would lower itself, cut off vents, have spoilers that adjusted itself, and other things in order to let it generate downforce and/or make it more aerodynamic.

Even after all that you have to consider that the Veyron is a 4000 pound car. So they made a car that is fat and unaerodynamic outperform anything else. That is why the Veyron is so impressive. It's not simply putting a big engine in a light car. People have also said that it is dramatically more stable than any other car at high speeds.]]>May 5th 2008 1:37PM
