Badass. Thanks!
The Veyron engine cutaway is my screensaver. :D

It's too bad that engine is in a super-fugly body. For $1,300,000. I want a car that doesn't look like a Tylenol.

BTW- The Callaway Sledgehammer is still faster (256mph), and costs 75% less. :D
 
That thing kicks ASS!!!! I want that ride. Guess I will call Tommy and ask for a day!
 
Check out the top gear viper srt-10 review, they bash it but in the end they love it because it basically simple brutal fun.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I kinda like it. If money were no object, I would have the Veyron or the Saleen S7. The Veyron is a 10 second car even if you don't have any skill. It's all computer controlled. Just mash the go pedal and the computer limits wheel spin and launches you down the 1/4. The Saleen is a work of art also and I read that they custom fit it to the customer. Make mine 3xlt please.:D

Yeah I watched that one too. He was laughing like a school girl everytime he kicked the back end out. I've ridden in lots of fast cars but a Viper just has something rude about it.

Kinda gotta disagree with the visual thing.....

By aesthetic comparison the Slegehammer 'Vette is an ugliassed angular POS.....

You'd probably hate all my guitars then too. :D

I wasn't really comparing body styles between the Sledgehammer and the Veyron. Just the top speed specs and the price tag.

When it comes to looks, the Viper (car) is drop-dead sexy. There are a few others out there too- like the McLaren-SLR- but the Veryon is WAY down on my Looks List.

The McLaren SLR doesn't do anything for me. I don't like the fish gills on the side. The hood looks way too long and the grille looks like a bird beak. Those are just my observations. Like I said in an earlier post. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If cars all looked the same, then they would be pretty boring.

If your buying let me know so I can get my color combination in. I'll give you the option of the Veyron or the Saleen S7. I'd be happy with either. Thank you. Your my new best friend.:D Oh yeah, there are SLR's on eBay for 350K. What a bargain.

I'll have my own set of 38DD's before I have the kind of coin to blow on a Veryon, let alone pick up a few for my friends. LOL

$350K for a SLR? Salvage title? Missing front clip? In Iraq?
:D

Nope, Brand new 2006 with only 44 miles and that's a "Buy it Now" price. I couldn't find any deals on the Veyron. Sorry....

A quote from Feedback on this seller. Quite a few like this one, but still a lot of good feedbacks.

nacho_mamas: Thanks, George. Very courteous, on first inspection car is as advertised.
Follow-up by nacho_mamas: Pressure to leave feedback at dealer led to above comment. Car had been wrecked.
 
If I had the money (and I DON'T), I would have a McLaren F1. In my opinion that is the baddest, best looking exotic road car there is. Hey I can dream can't I?

Bill.
