Veyron vs. MB SLR (video)
We know the outcome without even watching the video. Knowing how fast an SLR is, the distance between the two is still very incredible.

Not only the Bugatti has over 1000 HP but the torque..... it has more torque than any other supercars out today. IIRC the Veyron produces 927 ft-lb torque. That's higher than any other production supercars out now in history.
The only closest contender would be the Koenigsegg CCX-R which has already been released. The CCX-R has twin superchargers and powered by E85 biofuel, producing 1018 HP and the car only weighs 2601 lbs. I'm afraid this will beat the Veyron. The top speed is around 3~ 4 mph slower than the Veyron but the acceleration... errmmmm....... the CCX-R will have the advantage. The physics don't lie. 2601 lbs guys......
I would love to see Veyron and CCX-R side by side and do a couple of runs like that. Ho Ho yeah meow meow.. that's gonna be fun.

To put the figures into perspective "the last really fast car I drove was Ferrari’s 599 GTB Fiorano. Hardly a slouch, the 599 reaches 62mph in 3.7 seconds and 124mph in 11 seconds. But drive the Ferrari 599 past a stationary Veyron at 62mph during its 11 second 124mph sprint and the Bugatti will catch up by the time the Italian reaches 124mph."
And:
"On the way to that headline 253mph top speed it’ll reach 62mph in just 2.5 seconds, 124mph in 7.3 seconds and 186mph in 16.7 seconds."

At 240mph it the air it takes in 1 minute is enough to last a person 4 days.
The tires last 50 min at top speed
Gas lasts 12 minutes
At 252mph, its covering a football field every second.
I used to not get this car but its a feat of engineering!!!

The Ferrari roaring past a STATIONARY Veyron at 62mph...and then by the time said Ferrari reaches 124 mph, the Veyron will CATCH IT??????
Oh myyyyy....
