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"

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 :):)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
