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."
That doesn't add up... well, maybe... I can't be 100% sure, but I'm assuming that at every point in that 11 seconds, the Ferrari is going faster than the Bugatti. The Veyron doesn't catch up in terms of... pulling up next to the Ferrari. It does it in terms of how fast it's going.

I'm kind of sick of these videos. Of course the Veyron will eat up any other stock supercar out there.

What I want to see is how it performs around a track!!
