[image132]

Ok I don't know how many of you are interested in cars but being a fellow man I know this must peak your interest at some level.

I just watched the most recent episode of Top Gear where James May tests the new Bugatti Veyron sport.

Trust me, you don't want to miss this.

First of all I'm a Top Gear fan. Found their previous season rather boring to be honest but this is much better. That car is just ballistic. I mean you can see, not even its top speed but the way it takes off the line when they run it around the track. Just  [scared]

I also really like their bit on Ayrton Senna. That is what F1 is about. It's sad that it has "numbed" down since then. :/

Anyway that car is is insane. I also prefer its looks over the old version. After I've sold some blood and my kidney I think I might buy one.  [big grin]

Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000 250 mph
Corvette Z06 $78,000 198 mph

What is the better, more affordable car? Corvette more car/speed/acceleration for your money.

Yes, but the Bugatti can also go round corners..... [tongue]

 

[jmbfestool]

You forgot Handling!   Oh yeah because Corvette has no handling.

 

[jmbfestool]

Oh also its 267.8mph  not 250mph    soo more for your money! As well as handling included! lol

Stock Corvette ZR1 laps the N?rburgring in 7:26.4.

Thats a straight line, right  [wink]

I'am not saying that the Bugatti Veyron is not a better car. There is no question the Veyron is better.  The engineering in the car is phenomenal. But a $1.7 million dollars who can buy it. The Corvette is affordable. The most go for your dollar.

by a pro driver yes, put some one else in and expect them to go fast round a track compared to a car thats not based on a horses cart

Corvette Z06 has a 0-60 of 3.6 seconds.

Ariel Atom has a 0-60 of 2.9 and costs < $50,000.  If you just want a fast car, that would be my ride.  I don't like that Corvette are a dime a dozen.  I would prefer something more unique.  

Top Gear - Ariel Atom - BBC

Another cool ride is the Caterham Seven.  0-60 in 3.5 but it looks like a blast to drive.

You should have seen last weeks top gear they were showing the new Camaro and they said how its one of the first American cars that has used the suspension systems that we have had here for years. Apparently you still have the same suspension on your cars as they had on horse and carts in the old days  [laughing] [laughing] [poke].

If you want to see just how well made the Veyron is, go to National Geographic channel and find the show Ultimate Factories and watch the Bugatti Veyron show.  It's amazing - and in HD. You'll know why it costs so much.

The one showing the factory for the Audi R8 was pretty cool too.

yeah, it was

Ariel Atom is one of the coolest car made. Just the open air aspect of it is over the top. Talk about feeling the speed. Just imagen looking through the frame and seeing the asphalt scream by.

Greg, I heard a while back that they had opened a production facility at Virginia International Raceway.  I'd love to hit the track in one of those things.  I know VIR does events similar to that sometimes.  I am going to try to do some karting on the track one of these times when I'm back in Virginia visiting family since the track isn't that far away.  I'd really like to get into SCCA racing if I had the time and money to do it.

You could probably bail out California with the fine on one Felony Speeding ticket!!!  [eek]
