Who says VW's are slow ... how about a 1,001 HP VW :)

Man and to think I thought the triple turbo R32's from EIP (or EPI forgot which) pushing over 600 HP were fast;

for that amount of money, I'd buy a Mclaren F1...

That VW is ugly as sin.

I agree, that will never be another car near the mclaren no matter how fast it goes. However, I do like the Veyron, but it has a huge rear wing that raises about 2 feet into the air when it reaches higer speeds. They were having problems keeping it on the track at high speeds earlier in the development process.

how bout the mclaren mercedes..... truly remarkable and only half as much as a mclaren at $500,000 they're point was to make " a cheaper supercar" then the F1

[phantomhitman]

its more luxury than supercar, but still nice

From what I've heard, the Bugatti handles like crap. But, even if it does hit 250, that still isn't as fast as the fastest street legal car ever-the Corvette Sledgehammer-254.74 miles per hour. Vettes rule!!!!!!!!!!!! American Muscle!!!!!!!!

[BlackVCG]

How about a good ole' push rod V8 powered Corvette ZO6? A race car just legal enough that it can wear a license plate and a sticker price under $70K.

If you like going fast, the ZO6 is as good as it gets, without sacrificing all practicality. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I'd just spend that $1.23 mil left over on gas and tires for the Z06.

It'd be the fastest production street car.

Oh i completely agree. I wouldn't spend that much on a car even if i COULD, but if I was going to buy something that expensive I sure wouldn't buy that VW.

I'd get a BMW M5 and I could bring 4 of my friends in plush style while still "hanging" with the Z06...

Everyone around here has a Corvette. You can't drive down the street without seeing at least one it's nothing special.

no love for Aston Martin?

[Enraged Monk]

my brothers boss has a aston martin....

If I could spend that much on something I'd buy a new powerstroke and pour some $$$ into upgrades so it could "hang" with the vette... Well it wouldn't be able to at higher speeds, but off the line it could!

[Dubstar112]

Well, thats too much money. Its not race legal with a circuit that has production restrictions and its 16 cylinders?

Nissan Skyline has 6 coffee cans and is capable of 1000 all wheel drive horsepower... and cheaper not to mention capable of a whole lot better fuel consumption.

OHC is where the power is.

[NigelF]

I would just like to point something out to everyone.... When you are talking horsepower numbers this high, fuel consumption is a pretty weak bargaining point.
