Meh, the Veyron is an overhyped piece of crap car IMHO, built for bragging rights only...not a fan of the car.

Veyron. I really don't understand how you can not be impressed by the car, calm and relaxing @250MPH, nothing else is remotely comparable.
Because the car was designed for the sole purpose of going fast in a straight line
"The real disappointment is it doesn't feel that quick in a normal road situation. Oh, once you're going there's loads of torque then power and the acceleration that goes with it, but there's turbo lag and far too much rotating mass. But they've done some amazing things with it. On the track, the chuckability, steering, and braking shine."
The Veyron has more grip because it's AWD.
It's not legal for any racing series
It might handle reasonably well but it was DESIGNED a bragging rights/straight line car through and through.
My brother in law drove
he said the Bugatti was boring
