coz a lot of 'em aren't eligible for import due to power-to-weight restrictions, or even worth owning
the lowest spec ones got RB20E motors i believe- single OHC 12V N/A
bore size has very little to do with it (only a difference of 1.5mm maximum, and pistons prolly lighter if forged anyway)
it's the stroke, reciprocating weight and component balancing that makes all the difference to an engines eagerness to rev
The times quoted for the Veyron 1/4 range from low 10's, up to 10.8 max.
Even at only 10.8, that still makes it (by a fair margin), the hardest accelerating production supercar of all time.
So if that's "slow", what is everything else?
well- the new GT-R could be a lot lighter for a 6 cylinder car
but then, of course, it would have to use more exotic materials in its construction and therefore cost more
DSG's dont make 'that noise' when they shift- coz they don't have a torque converter, and the ECU has to retard the spark breifly to drop the power on an upshift.

You can get either the Lambo or the Fezza in 6sp manual, but over 80% of buyers opt to spend an extra $20k+ to get the paddle op semi-auto 'box.
Why do I keep seeing this thing called "The 2009 GT-R" when it goes on sale in Japan in '07, and the U.S and everywhere else in '08??
Who's to say it doesn't have a seperate control unit, like the ATTESSA computer in RB26 powered GT-R's?
