Alot of ppls compares the veyron to CCR and so on, the big mac is the only thing that remotesly comes close to it and we're talking day light in difference here. As for comapring this car to a back yard bang together is absurd, with all due respect to Leewah GTR is not even a shadow of this car.

The biggest damage in those fotos are the owners ego or the humiliation he's gonna cop next he meet up with his friends, for being the first "privateer" to bung one.

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)

Uumm, can't remember the last time these cars reached 400km/h, and also can't remember GTR-800 having 1000hp... :)

Comparing a Veyron to a GTR, now I've heard it all!

As for the guy's ego being bruised? I'll just say people who can afford Veyron's probably don't care to much about what others think. I'm sure he will get his $5m payout and sleep easy!

yes, comparing the veyron to a GT-R was overboard. but i just can't stand the adulation this car is getting when it isn't even available with a proper manual transmission. how can it be compared with a mclaren, enzo, zonda or ccx? is top speed and acceleration all that defines a supercar? what about the aesthetics? the passion?

i'm sorry, but the veyron is just a result of bugatti trying too damn hard to build a car. they should have learned from the EB110.

in 10 years time, the veyron will be forgotten because another supercar will invariably surpass its top speed. but the mclaren? that will always be remembered for being the definition of a supercar. an enzo? its already a classic. and a zonda? a recent comparison in motor magazine left me pleasantly surprised when the tester stated he was drawn to the zonda more so than the veyron.

good on them for having the balls to build a 1000hp street legal car.

and if your going to do it, you dont use 1 V8, use 2 of them and instead of twin turbo, you add 2 more.

kudos to Bugatti to making something thats faster than an F1 car street legal.

Bugatti. FTW.

"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...

i think the fuel doesnt last that long either. and going off what i saw on top gear you need somewhere very very very straight and smooth.

This is all your opinion on the aesthetics and the passion.. A lot of people would actually find the Bugatti a much more passionate vehicle due to the beautiful leather interior and finishing inside the vehicle. It's certainly better than any other supercar which sometimes even consist of sparse and lightweight but ugly interiors.

NO acceleration and top speed dont make a supercar, but the Veyron is a lot more than just that. The Bugatti wont snap on you and send you flying into the forest at 200+km/h if you dont behave properly like some other supercars. How many cars can do 350km/h+ and NOT sound like they are about to break up... The Veyron doing over 400km/h is a civilised and comfortable car to drive. That demands a huge amount of respect IMO. Stability at speed is something that not many manufacturers have mastered!!

You might not like how it looks, and you might not understand the passion. I'm sure there are just as many people out there who disagree with you completely! :unsure:

it says in the article "Hopefully the driver got out unscathed"

stuff that i hope he got hurt (not badly) but he better have bruised something

more proof ... just cause you got enough dollars to buy a supercar doesnt mean you got enough sense to own one

i think the Veyron will be the best car ever made...because the way we are going with the oil situation... it will be the last over the top supercar ever made

it will last 12 mins.... but in those 12 mins you could drive about 80kms.

i don't like the red guards and bonnet. much prefer it all black.

any car where you have to put a key into a slot to put it into "go stupidly fast!!" mode is a winner in my book.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
