I tell you what though, those Russians are crazy. Running flat out on a wet track takes some big ones.

I am not sure that Veyron guy runs full throttle. Too much money, and Russian insurance car companies will do everything to prove that his claim is not legit, that he streetraced it and etc. I saw that car in Moscow this past summer and he was driving pretty slow

No, but the GTR was a Switzer P800 (approx. 700 hp) and the car is a bit slipperier than the Veyron. Combine that with the GTR being able to get the power down better than the Veyron and you have a million-dollar bad idea.



FYI, the Speedriven SL600s are making about the same power as that GTR. Just sayin'.

That seems more like it. If that first Bughatti had 1001, what did the GTR have... a friggin Googol???

A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros
