Looks a lot different than on Top Gear. They looked superb on the show :) That picture has swayed me, looks feral there.

Kinda doesnt help when the front end is ruined though!! Gonna cost some big dollars to fix anything on those!!

Does anyone know what tyres these things run?? Apparently they last for 15 minutes at a constant 407km/hr. Wonder what they are worth a set!!!

"To safely and reliably accelerate to 400km/h, the Veyron makes use of custom-designed Michelin tyres, which utilise what has termed the Pax system. The tyres are capable of dealing with the stress of 400km/h speeds, and they also have a special pressure monitoring system and run-flat capability, so that even in the event of a high-speed puncture, things won't go all pear shaped."

And im almost positive they will give up after 50 minutes at 400km/h not 15 minutes...

What sort of tool drives a 1000hp car in the rain? Just a shame he didnt remove himself from the gene pool.

Yeah, because all 1000hp cars have all their power from 700rpm...

It's called a throttle, it has more than "on" and "off" settings you know?

Well duh', the boy needs to learn some respect and use his daily driver in the wet :laugh:

i don't want to sound like a spoil sport, but a crashed veyron doesn't bother me in the slightest way for a couple of reasons:

1. in my opinion, the veyron is a try-hard attempt by bugatti to make the biggest and the best. quad turbo W16, what the hell for? the koeneggsig ccx weighs nearly half as much and probably has similiar performance as a result.

2. the veyron is far too clinical for my tastes. i look at a mclaren and i see passion, emotion. same with an enzo. i look at the veyron and i see white coats, calculators and pens.

3. how would you feel in a veyron when LEEWAH or GTR-800 pull up at the lights and actually manage to keep up? not very happy(unless you are in the GT-R! LOL)

    • Same, English is my 3rd language
    • So we need to get together, design a new ECU, that can be mounted elsewhere, leave all the "factory" sensors "in-place", and then any it's not using, when it detects them unplugged, throw a CEL.   Yeah, probably too much effort these days for a Skyline...  
    • For some reason the photos aren't loading...?!
    • @Dose Pipe Sutututu ok thanks...i think it will do then :-)  Man i was extremely lucky to even find this engine. I looked for months 😄  @GTSBoy i did not noticed that 😄 ok that is out of the question... @WMDC35 yeah i know but sadly the was not available so i need to use mine "or" some custom one but that would not fit in R34 without some heavy modification... All and all thanks guys...i just want to know if and if not if that "custom" one would be ok for my use :-) 
    • Soooo I may have purchased another car from NZ It has Nissan motorsport pedigree... and if I like it, I might be selling the 32 (or my Golf) to buy another one to take IPRA racing.
