It looked like the Veyron got a really good jump on the GTR. After that initial jump, it seemed they were about even the rest of the way down the track.

125mph vs 139mph trap speed, not even.


And for others, if you could buy a million dollar car, you would not ask what else you could do with it. These folks are not financing or running around living in an apt because they spend their bi-weekly check on their ride.

Why doesn't someone put the Veyron against this. It would be RAPE for the Veyron As awesome as the Veyron is the GT-R for the price is a technological MARVEL. It's become an almost untouchable.

Yes and no...it costs almost $100K to get a GT-R into the 8's...oucchhhh. They are sick platforms non the less.

Veyron is a certified panty dropper.

The GTR was given a car length head start that evaporated instantly. The Veyron is a rocket but only ran what, 10.2?

Would like to see the video referred to in Post#7.

ONLY ran 10.2? Dude...it ran it as if it was nothing...no burn out..no weight reduction...pump gas....nothing. And it also put nearly 140mph while it was at it.

Don't forget on stock wheels and rubberband tires lol. Doesn't look like they even launched hard and banged 10.2. Sucks I was just at that track a week ago! Would like to have seen those runs in person.

Veyron is a marvel. I just wish they would lose the two tone paint jobs.

Veyron didn't launch hard. He eased into it and even standing right behind it, you could barely hear the thing. My brother fell asleep at the light, but I probably would too from starting at my opposition

Expected to see 9's from the fastest road-legal production car in the world, if it can do it then, bring it, LOL.

And dude, let's not make excuses for a $1 million car.

He even had a freaking passenger...they aren't excuses, just facts. This is very simple, what bone stock car can run low 10's/high 9's without modifying ANYTHING? Tune out the traction control ( which lowers boost in the first 2 or 3 gears if I'm not mistaken ) and add four slicks all around and you have an 8 second car without any drama ( although the launch may be pretty dramatic ). Heck, no E55, regardless of mods, has ever bested a 100% bone stock veyron.

The Veyron is a sick machine, but you do pay for having such a sick machine so it is what it is.

I totally agree... but putting slicks on the Bugatti probably isn't the easiest thing given how unique its wheel and tire package is from the factory. The Bugatti is definitely capable of running a high 9 at 140mph+ in negative DA at a track like MIR with great track prep. Yes, it costs $1M+... but it is a very well engineered car...with a bespoke interior and the highest quality pieces throughout. I'd take one if given one....my preference is a completely blacked out one...in case someone is giving them away.

Exactly how are these certifications performed, and is there a published spec somewhere? Can you self-certify or do you have to send in your results and have them confirmed by an independent governmental authority?

I assume this is a certification that requires annual renewal?

New car manufacturers would probably provide this certification at the time of purchase along with all the other warranty paperwork, but for a used car it seems that this would be something that the seller would be expected to provide.....like a VMI or CARFAX?

YOU actually made me homey! The way the certification works is like this, pull up to any high end hotel, restaurant, club, mall etc, where the lady's like to hang out. Once you pull in with your car, you will notice the broads start flock around your car, and begin to reach for their thongs, slowly pulling them down, until they drop and hit the floor. Once that occurs, and she reaches down to pick them up, giving you a slight peek, if you like what you see, go ahead and open the passenger door. At that point your car is certified and your clown is about to be punched It is up to you whether you like to leave oysters in your own car


Litigator, no disrespect to your bro at all. I probably would have done the same thing. BTW, is your CTS-V an auto or manual?
