No traction control and no ABS. Your average driver's life expectancy would be less than 1 hour in that car.

eh, ugly front/headlights, saleen looking rear. Crappy ssbc brakes. "over the counter" recaro speed seats with a logo printed on it typical viperish interior with ?sueade? for 620,000? Not worth it imo. The Bugetti Veyron is like he said "more of a luxury fast car" and it is, with abs traction control, speed controlled rear wing, hand stitched leather ect. Typical american response to europe, put a big V8 in a tube chassis and slap some turbos on it. I cant wait for Top Gear to test it and rip it appart. Yet I hope it makes me eat my words and sets THEIR track record with the stig.

Bugatti is twice the price so it is going to be a bit nicer on the inside. they set out to build the land speed car and they did it :-) and they used US parts :-) like i said i am proud!!!

Just because you have money to buy it, doesn't mean you have skills to drive it. Your average billionaire is probably just your average driver.

the GT-R is deff my dream car as well!!!! i just hope that the after market picks up on the GT-R. a lot that i have read says that no japan shops will be able to make anything by law have heard that Cobb broke the ECU code .... good old Cobb. still its cool that the fastest super car is from the USA... for now any way.
