Ahh bob, it’s always good to see others revelling in cynicism too :P

Veyron scores a big meh I think.

The Calloway Sledgehammer Aero of the late 80’s had 1000bhp & a 410km top speed. And it’s basically a modified Corvette right down to Gen II pushrod V8.

Give me a Koenigsegg CCR!

Standing ¼ in 9sec – 395km/h top speed – 4.7L V8

And according to those bastards lucky enough to drive one, it handles amazingly too.

.

I like the CCR for what it is, which is really one of those top speed supercars.

if i had to pick a current supercar it would probably go in this order or preference:

1.ferrari enzo (although maybe a gt, it would be a hard decision :P )

2.porsche carrera gt

3.pagani zonda

4.ferrari f360 challenge stradale (hardcore :P )

5.porsche gt2

i would prefer a drivers car rather than an outright top speed car, although i see the attraction... CCR would be my top speed car of choice.. apparently it drives like crap untill you arre going at least about 80MPH (which makes sense)

And how are you so confident it will 'NEVER' be sold ever, thats a pretty big statement unless you work for bugatti.

I'd say I am taking a side of the fence opposite to yours on this one. I'd take your money on a bet that VW has more sense than to piss millions up the wall when their shareholders aren't real happy about the situation. To release the car under the 'Veyron' badge now would just ask for a share price drop. As an investor I'd be rather concerned that one of the new 'mega rich' owners might have an accident and his army of lawyers would have little problems bringing a massive law suit against the company not to mention the bad press if the Veyron actually killed a well known rich bastard.

Take the engine out. Put it in something not made by Bugatti.

We put the 'BUG' in BUG-atti.

well that sucks then  :confused: 

but it is still coming out yes? that means we wont truely know what its capable till then. Surely something with a 8.8 1/4 (unconfirmed) and 400km/h ability straight off the floor is nothing to scoff at.

i didnt even know anything about bugatti until i stumbled onto this, so sorry for those who already know, i just though it mite be a valuable learning discussion talking about some of the technology in this car.

i like any company who sits down and says 'right, lets design the fastest, most powerful car in the world' even if it takes them along time to do it

cerbera: So your saying this car hasnt taken engine/mechanical technology to another level? :D

What other car has everything this car has? yeh bmw might have a similar transmission, and VW mite have made a similar engine, but thats 1/100th of the feat bugatti will achieve if they finish this car properly.

How can a 2tun car do 8.8seconds on street tyres ?

what a load of shit.

thanks for the contribution mate :bonk: , its says unconfirmed, but with 4wd, 1000hp and 7 gears do u really doubt it that much?

And where does it say 2 tonn, alot of the body is compisites

yeh Koenigsegg ccr is already a well in use supercar, good to see even with a small market that other companies can design such crazy cars though

Does anyone know exacly how the 4 turbos operate IE sequential etc? Im assuming they are either paired or seperately activated depending on rpm? Are all 4 the same size?

obviously choosing 4 turbos sounds a little silly and over complex, so they must have had their reasons. Each is paired together, so that would mean 2 would start early in the rpm and the other 2 join in later? Or all 4 at the same time? :eek:

they look like garret t28s

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
