Okay, although it is highly likely that you're just a troll and won't understand a word of what I'll say, I'm going to answer your posting anyway.
No, hes just another German that gets wound up when we dare to dislike a German car.
Reading this, I actually have to restrain myself not to insult you. The fact that I am German has nothing to do with me liking the Veyron. If you would have read what I've written so far, you'd know, but obviously, it's easier to just post away. I do not like every German car, and I also like cars from other nations. This fact alone shows that you don't have the slightest idea of what you're actually talking about. Instead, you have prejudices and seem to live fine with them.
I can't wait to see it get mullered at Dunsfold. Then all the fanboys will slaver about how thats not the point of the car and its not a supercar its a GT with no ability and how on a long straght track it would be better and blah blah blah
Again, if you would have read the postings in this thread, you will notice that everyone but you draws a distinction between loving or hating the Veyron for whatever reason, and the outcome of the Stigs lap at Dunsfold. As before, your statement is full of prejudice and has little to nothing to do with what has been written here before.
My point is simply that it DOESNT do all the things people claim it does. That they all get blinded by the speed of the thing. (which has already been bested)
Okay, the Veyron is quick in a straight line, even you'll have to agree to that. Apart from that, you should have noticed that the majority has doubts it is particularly good in corners. Jeremy Clarkson said that it handles surprisingly well, and so has Gordon Murray, the developer of the McLaren F1. Surprisingly well only means that you don't feel the enormous weight of the car not as much as you do in others - nothing more, and nothing less. I just wonder whom you are referring to with your statement then, cause it seems that noone said it would outhandle a car like the Koenigsegg CCX on a twisty track. Who, I ask you, is "blinded by the speed of the thing" then?
Its not a great car. Its just a fat, ugly very fast one. Having seen the video of the McLaren F1 (its on Youtube) doing its top speed run. I have to say it doesnt look too scary at 391KMH (Same track btw)
I didn't see anyone saying that the McLaren F1 get's instable at high speeds (although
this video might be of interest to you). Anyway, you can not deny that the Veyron looks very stable at top speed - full stop. So, it is car car that can go very fast staying very stable, is fairly luxury, and handles at least okay. How is it not a great car then?
As for Interceptor. I like the fact he'd use the passenger seat for the luggage. Shows how many friends he has...
I'm not going to excessively comment this one, I just want to say this much: using insults in a discussion is a sign of running out of valid arguments.
But more so I like the "throwing money until the elephant dances" line. Its particularly apt. No other car manufacturer would commit over a Billion Euros to wave their genitals.
I've written about the history of the Veyron before, but obviously, you haven't read that as well. If you'd have chosen the goals and then made the car, it would have been looking different - no doubt about that. They didn't, and instead took the hard way. So what? Does that make the Veyron a bad car?
In the history of mankind, countless brilliant ideas, invented or found by accident, have been cockled, cause they seemed to expensive, useless or just stupid. Still, some made it to the surface and became some of the greatest and most important inventions. If you watch them now, it is surprising which way many of them took. And it's the same with this car. It didn't take the easy way, it had to take the hard one. But I fail to see how this makes this a bad car.
In conclusion, I dissociate from being a fanboy, and in the same breath, call you an anti-Veyron-fanboy. All you do is ignore every fact and statement you are presented, and blindly bash it. Therefor, I must conclude you are an idiot.
Regards
the Interceptor
