O/T - B11S is a wannabe!
this is the only pig-nosed, two-toned car i'd ever own. 1001hp and AWD, need i say more? now i need to scrape up over $1,000,000 for the Veyron. how much would insurance be?

If you have to ask....
Standard retort from olde worlde Rolls Royce salesmen.
This car is not for you, if you need to ask. Chunky looking thang, isn't it Alan. I prefer the look of the older EB-110. Long ago I came to the conclusion that serious power and performance can relatively easily deliver 170-180+ mph. Loads of bikes can do this for small money, and the CD of a bike and rider is extemely poor. Going faster than 200 mph seems to involve a whole new set of parameters, almost like a "sound barrier" The Maclaren F1 was the first to comprehensively break this particular glass ceiling, but at crazy cost. 700 or more hp seems to be the formula.

The wrong kind of "movement"
<i'd love to know what 1001hp feels like under my right foot.>
I have a feeling that I would know what it would feel like between my butt and the seat! Don

With the Veyron power to weight is maybe better than 600 bhp per tonne. Not much more than a very fast bike. Can't say for cars, but using all the power on a very fast bike feels really quick and scary. It will be trying to throw you off backwards, and very little of a mistake will make it hairy real quick. I drove a quick TVR, and it certainly feels fast. Does not have the security we take for granted with the SVX 4wd. However, an SVX with enough power to overcome the available grip and the chassis would also feel nervous. Joe
