Bugatti vs 350z
#26
THe F1 is less than a sec slower to 100 kph( 62mph) less than 2 sec slower to 200 kph ( 125mph) and less than 4 sec slower to 300 kph.( 186)
I have to 0-320 kph(200mph) times for the F1 somewhere but I can not find them at the moment.
Would be interessting to see what number and source you are using.

Sorry I am just upset since I lost to a SRT-4 a long time ago I dont really like to talk about it much... After that night I have yet to find another car that beat me in a way that made my LOL. The guy kept pestering me, i thought ow well he just wanted to hear what 8k RPM sounded like, so I went WOT and so did he I pulled like predicted but all of the sudden I heard a woosssh the sucker is right next to me, he shifts I pull some more and wooosh I was at his back bumper... He got next to me and I could see his turbo boost gauge and he was messing with some button so I called it a night.
Just wait one day you will run into a Neon SRT-4 that will beat you.
But yes a Neon SRT-4 has good handling for its price class.

What numbers are you basing that statement on. I am looking for the test of those 2 cars, but so far I have not found them.
THe F1 is less than a sec slower to 100 kph( 62mph) less than 2 sec slower to 200 kph ( 125mph) and less than 4 sec slower to 300 kph.( 186)

Here ya go:
Mclaren F1 0-200 mph 28.7 seconds,
Mclaren F1 0-120 mph 8.6 seconds car-videos.com
Mclaren F1 120-200 mph 20.1 seconds
It takes the Mclaren 1 mile to hit 200mph
Source Supercars.net
Bugatti Veynron 0-200 mph UNDER 19 seconds reports of 18.5-.8
It takes the bug 1 mile to hit 220-225 mph.
edit (4 avant22)-The Bug would finish a mile long drag race bus lenghts ahead of the Mclaren.

Bus lengths past the F1 after 1 mile
Sorry, I just don't see how you can say that with a straight face.
After 1 mile, the F1 and Veyron will be neck and neck.
In fact, so would an F40, Ciroen deaux chevaux, a school bus and likely a horse and cart.
Now their velocity at the 1 mile point may be quite different....

O sweet god i never knew....Only a small number of people on this earth know that the SRT is capable of time travel...some say einstein was actually an SRT4 driver from 20 years from now, but he just like the 40s better, but he never actually died he just went back home.

From the abyss:
Just as a dose of reality, here are a few videos of the Veyron racing a Ruf CTR (yellow bird) Keep in mind the CTR will run 0-100mph is 7 to 8 seconds.:
Insane!!

ML320, Looking for my S4
guys what you need is a true rie burner not an amrican rice burner like the srt4. you need a honda civic hatchbak with a turbo from hell, a 200mph tail wind in your lane and a 500mph head wind in the Veyron 's lane, a 500 shot of nos, and a granny driveing, and vaula u killed a Veyron. other then that i dont recomend and srt owners pink sliping a Veyron; also how the hell an a srt4 handle!? its front wheel drive damnit

Great trivia here....quote:
Ruf CTR
Speed at 1 mile: 185.8 mph — 4th
Time to 1 mile: 28.6 sec — 7th (tie)
When this Ruf CTR, aka Yellow Bird, first appeared in Road & Track — in the July 1987 "World's Fastest Cars" cover story in which it went 211 mph at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien track in Germany — there was a young waiter at a Bennigans restaurant in Houston who idolized Alois Ruf and one day hoped to build fast cars of his own. His name: John Hennessey.
So when the noted Viper tuner sees Yellow Bird in our lineup, he's totally stoked...like a kid seeing his dream car for the first time. At Lemoore, though, John's enthusiasm is matched by that of Steve Millen, who drives Yellow Bird — now with more than 100,000 kilometers on its odometer — to a scintillating speed of 185.8 mph in the standing mile, notably squatting with each upshift of its super-quick 28.6-sec. run.
Not bad for a 18-year-old car. Although it's not quite as quick as a modern Trans-Am car, it has a higher speed at the end of the mile.
When Steve gets out, his eyes are smiling from within his full-face helmet. All he can say is: "Wow!" Continues Steve: "That thing's a blast. It accelerates hard. It's a real old-school car with a lot of torque and power. Just awesome. What a rush. It pulled the whole way through. You can feel that it's lighter than some of the other cars." Then, as he gives Alois a thumbs-up sign of approval, he adds, "It's a good old car."
The understatement of the day.

About the lights
I met a guy with a SL55 on the highway and after a short stint I was getting off the highway and when he went past his tail lights were going crazy just like that. I guess you can have your lights tricked out.

As for the riced out SRT-4 beating a Veyron, even if you could get the SRT-4 to win in a quarter mile (and you could) the Veyron would destroy the neon at high speeds. Those hopped up turbocharged NOS rigged 4-cyl engines lose their steam at high speed.

True, but an FI M3 will tear up a modded SRT-4. I dont agree with comparing stock cars to modded cars when asking which is the better car. You are completely right about the M3 not being a drag racer, its a track car through and through, the handling is the best part about it in my opinion.

The M3, excluding the CSL, is not a track car. It is a road car that adapts well to track use. It is a great all rounder, which is why I have come extremely close to buying one numerous times over the last 5 years, but it is a car that does not really excel in one area. This being said, in my opinion the engine is the best production 6-cylinder ever made.
