So what's the top speed of the thing ??

After all, air resistance builds exponentially so I'd be interested whether this thing could beat a Veyron

(My guess - No - after all it's just a series produced Hot-Rod ;-)

And if you want 'power and torque' you can always chuck a Rolls Royce Merlin into a 55Chev to get the world's most powerful road registered car

:P

i'd have one if it were given to me for sure

race a few mates, maybe race some people that aren't mates

I can see it now, me being 17 rocking up at milton with a bunch of imports from CB and me in that thing, growling along slowly behind them. I'd get shit for it till I put my foot down lol

Bring it on I say, gimme one. I'll keep it for a week and then sell it and buy myself a few Race Spec GT-R's :P

Ok i found the mag

The Bugatti Veyron

8.0 Litre W16 Quad Turbo running 1.2 Bar

736Kw at 6000rpm, 1250Nm at 2000rpm

2 diff keys for 2 diff speed limits first key limit 375kmh 2nd key limit at 407kmh

0-100 in 2.5

0-200 in 7.3

0-300 in 16.5

9.8 1/4mile

400-0 in 9.8

When travelling at 400kmh it chews 100 litres of fuel in 12 minutes

Quote from motor mag "A monument to engineering stubborness over common sense and tradition"

my quote "dammmnnnn!!! (jaw open) now thats a car!"

mates quote "Wheres your mighty imports now" p.s hes a V8 owner (HSV GTS)

and an interesting thing its 64 valves.....thats alotta valves

If your jaws open that wide from just reading the Motor article on it then imagine what will happen to your jaws when you see Jeremy Clarkson driving it through europe in the last season of top gear :):)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
