Hi `Mike, I know I'll never be able to afford one, but I'd sure like to drive one or your GTO

Wow the Bugatti can't touch me! lol.

That venom sure would be an epic run, but if I strapped and exteneded my bike I would be firm on the ground with no wheel lift, and I can maybe get in to the sub 8 Second range.


oh yeah and I did not spend over a million dollars for my ride xD

what i dont understand is why vw had to use 4 wheel drive, FOUR turbos, and SIXTEEN cylinders to get 1200 hp when the early venom gt i that is in my car and driver mag used a 6.2 litre chevy motor with just two turbos and half the boost of they veyron and it made more power

also you could make the same power with a 2jz for a fraction of the price lol. but then you couldnt say ''hey i just dropped 2 mil on a veyron'' lol

not only that, but it doesnt even need all that power to be fast.

Power to weight (not gearing) my bike crushes the veyron and just about every exotic. Lotus is the only one to get it right, and they use toyota motors!

Ariel atom and ktm xbow also spank every supercar out there, and they are only using either a honda civic motor or an audi tt motor.





or if your into driving in the rain the ultima GT
