I guess I'm the only one who thinks the Mclaren F1 is actually better than the Veyron.
I see you want a fanboy war of epic proportions.

The T34 was an American design (J. Walter Christie - yes, it's a development of the Christie BT tank and the M1928 before it) with an engine design from (depending on who you ask) a British dirigible or a German light tank.
Not a whole lot of it was actually Soviet engineering.

When it comes to cars I haven't driven yet, I have impressions, not opinions.
Opinions - at least those which are worth something - are always a result of knowledge and not of hearsay or belief.
Based on all reliable sources, my impression is that the Veyron is the better car. Surely better to drive and master, than the F1. The most vivid memories I have of the F1 are news articles reporting that yet another celebrity has wrecked one...
And the design thing is a matter of taste anyway. You will find people who think an Aston Martin DB9 is ugly, you will even find people who liked the movie "Battlefield Earth" (although that is more a lack of intelligence, than a lack of taste).
Discussing design issues is rather pointless, don't you think?

Why do opinions always have to be result of knowledge? You are being overly pedantic man! :lol:
The F1 does more for me, it just "seems" more exciting, its completely un-compromised.
Hey, I'm German! it's my job to be pedantic
The term "uncompromised" is used too often for my taste to describe cars that are simply not properly built for normal use on the road. The problem with uncompromised cars is that you only have limited time in them, before they drive you nuts or frighten the hell out of you.
But I admit that there probably is a difference how I perceive fast cars. I don't think in track time terms. Living in Germany, I can drive out of town, go on the next Autobahn, which is 10 minutes away, and give every car I have the beans for the next 100 km or so, because there is no speed limit at all.
So guess what comes to my mind when I imagine having a Bugatti Veyron on a peaceful summer Sunday morning at 5:00 am
I put every car mentally in my summer Sunday morning scenario and think of how much fun I could have with it, without getting in danger of life, and the Veyron is the king of cars in that fantasy
