Veyron vs GTR



  Astra SRI/ Hornet
Tbf the veyron would destroy the mac above 100. But like you, I'd take the macca all day, every day. Awesome acheivment.
When you think after all these years, it's taken that much money just to beat the macca's performance figures. But the mac will carry 3 people, and luggage. Incredible.

Well I've heard rumours that they can raise the rev limit on the maclaren to have a even higher top speed or shorten gears for better acceleration. It would be an awesome race and massive respect to both cars and makers. Maclaren f1 would be my last tank of petrol at the end of the world without doubt.

They can, standard is 7500 but it can take 8500. But if you're going to start modifying the mac is sort of pointless? Gear it for top speed and the veyron will accelerate far quicker. Vice versa if you gear it for max accel.

I reakon a mile race with LM and veyron would be mighty close. The f1 had it on top gear upto a good speed. But can ya trust that program.
 
Blow the welds on the intake. Who cares which is fastest. The Macca is fast enough for me! :D

My perception of the Veyron is that it's the kind of car you'd cruise across Europe in, whereas I'm sure the McLaren is more about dynamics. I'd have both. let's be frank, if you can afford those sorts of cars, you can afford two of them, and then some.

But in the world of those cars Roy it's who's c**k is bigger than who's so the owning the fastest car matters. f**k it pics of LM any 1? Lol

I prefer the standard car tbh

I was really hoping the GTR would do well/keep up tbh. Because there's a chance I could actually own one in the future, whereas the Bug... no way!

They sounded nice too.

just shows you how much of an achievement the veyron was/is. unbelievable car and imo its pointless all this comparing it to other cars crap... its in a league of its own clearly

But it's not in a lot of ways. It just shows that if you throw enough money at a problem, you can solve it. It was a car defined by numbers. They would (and did!) do anything to acheive 250mph. With the f1, the design brief was to make the best car ever made. The numbers were a by-product.

didnt they do this on topgear in dubai

and to be far the mac held its own!

top gear is bullshit!

When the first drove the veyron they said the mac could get to 120 and then let the bug set off and the bug would still get to 200 quicker than the mac, which is fact... So a season later they raced them both and made it look close.... :sleepy::rolleyes:

Anyway vids are great but like someone says earlier you cant compare the veyron to a modded gtr.
remap a veyron anyone.... lol

no car could let a macca get to 120 and beat it to 200, not even a f1 car itself. other people have raced the 2 with similar results.
 
  182 Trophy
Doubt itd be that hard to swallow, its still the fastest production car in the world after all...


apart from the ultima gtr

the veyron has a better top speed but the ultima is officialy the fastest accelorating and decelorating car in the world.

0-100 and back to 0 again in 9.4 seconds :)

The Mclaren F1 does what the Bugatti does with about 2/3rds of the power. Yeah ok the Bug goes about 10mph quicker top end but it weighs 2 tonnes whereas the Mclaren is flyweight 1100 kgs.
Give me the analogue Mac anyday. That car does not suffer fools.

And yes, i have just finished reading EVO

Nice video.

love the flames from the GTR.

Saying that the noise from the veyron at one point was ace

lol maybe stop reading internet bulls**t...

people were using the "launch control" which wasnt lauch control! lol it was for snow and ice as the car stalls at low revs if it doesnt move, there have been tests done with a standstill start without the "launch" and it does the 0-60 times quoted, the "launch" makes it 0.0000000 something quicker and all it does it squeel the wheels and give axel tramp...

the 2010 version is quicker 0-60 has a redesigned gearbox that is also covered under warrantee so all the internet rumours go out the window.

oh and its not a skyline :p

rob i know that but still the bug didnt get that far away from the jap crap lol!

i think you should get your race team to buy one rob and use it to race :) cheaper than a nsx type r lol!

Lol @ internet bulls**t.....I could be reading that very thing now?! How can I tell which is bs and not...for all I know you could just back up every japanese car that is discussed...oh wait...;)

And I'm sure all the people who have bought an original one are over the moon that there isn't a problem but the box has now been redesigned to help with the bs issues
