Whoa! Did anyone notice at the beginning, when they show the engine assembly plant about the Chevy V8 Small Block ... the engines being assembled are not V8s!!! They're stupid little inline 4s!!!! :lol:

You do not deserve to live on the planet the Veyron has been created.
Didn't happen unfortunately. Hopefully they'll do that next week.I just hope that JC goes berserk with the Veyron on the track as well!
Sure, the race is gonna be great, but there are things you just can't do on public (narrow) roads. In the past (DB9, 612 Scaglietti), when they had a race in one car, there was no additional (lenghty) driving on their airfield.
Neither did I. But this is coming from one of the Veyron-haters, so take it with a pinch of salt.maximus said:Funny that I haven't heard the rumour anywhere else.

source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/thisweek/The Veyron has managed to achieve the impossible; a car so good even Jeremy couldn't find fault with it. It's so good, the Stig cried after driving it.

JC could have done that race in a Golf GTI and he would still have won. They have to take the Veyron to the track! I want to see at least one launch-control start, drag race on the runway would be nice too, to say the least!
As mentioned before, they even mention the stig driving the Veyron (and crying afterwards because it was so good) on their hp. They have to show a lap, it's the friggin fastest car in the world!

Yes, that's a real picture click here for a high-res version + some more pics. (scroll down)xXx6s said:I just noticed the picture in your post, is that a real picture?
Because I know they've said that they don't have a long enough track to test out the true top of the car, but that picture looks like it was taken from White Sands in Nex Mexico and if so that place is used to test rocket cars and I would be long enough to test the top speed of the car.
Me too! But I'm afraid your beloved F1 wouldn't set the quickest lap, by a fair bit...RichW said:I would LIKE to see F1 and Veyron go round the track same day.
Seriously.
