http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1052337_beyonce-buys-jay-z-bugatti-veyron-for-41st-birthday

While most of us would be lucky to get a new pair of socks or maybe even a car care kit for our birthdays, rapper Jay-Z has been given a $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for his 41st birthday by his lovely wife Beyonce Knowles.

Jay-Z, who celebrated his birthday on December 4, is said to have been thrilled with the present, despite already having one of the most extensive car collections in the country. Some of the cars he’s fortunate enough to own the keys to include a Maybach 62S, a Ferrari F430 Spider and a Pagani Zonda Roadster.

Considering that money is probably no option for the well-to-do couple--they were recently named the highest-earning couple in entertainment, beating the likes of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and David and Victoria Beckham--you'd have to wonder why Beyonce didn’t spring for the more exclusive Veyron Super Sport.

The answer to that is simple: Even for the Veyron Grand Sport, she had to order the car a full year in advance to ensure it would be ready in time Jay-Z’s birthday. Ah, the lifestyles of the rich and famous…

So jealous right now.. although i don't think i would like it much if my wife bought me a car.

they are more than rich enough to afford a veyron. they could buy one a year and still have a few million each left over.

True. They must been hell rich.

2. Lamborghini Reventon $1,600,000

3. McLaren F1 $970,000

4. Ferrari Enzo $670,000

5. Pagani Zonda C12 F $667,321

6. SSC Ultimate Aero $654,400

7. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo $555,000

8. Koenigsegg CCX $545,568

9. Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren Roadster $495,000

10. Porsche Carrera GT $440,000

So now, Jay-Z owns 2 cars in that list. :worship:

apparently as a couple they are worth $162 million. i think that usually goes off assets rather than actual income, so even if only a fraction of that was invested they would be seeing a rather large income from their investments without even including record deals, movies, etc.

Beyonce is sooooooo hot

and i like Jay - z and his music

True. They must been hell rich.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
