To draw comparison between the 2 cars ould be like comparing a plasma TV gainst a rear projection TV, both are big and delivers visual image but you know which one is refine and definatively better.

I wouldnt say the Veyron has been knocked off entirely, considering it has a speed limiter in place & what Saleen is offering is an aftermarket upgrade. I'd hope the tyres + wheels on the Saleen will be able to handle those speeds or has a similar safety feature like the Veyron to keep them inflated when they shi7 themselves.

Anyone seen to see if they CRASHED BUGATTI YET?

I checked Wrecked Exotics and they only had images of the previous V12 model, so I don't think there are any wrecked customer Bugatti Veyrons yet.

i think the Bugatti Veyron is alsome would take it for sure watch the top gear review as well looks hot on the road

And its 4WD 1000hp plus RWD would have to mean wheel spin at 250kph

Howso? The Saleen S7 is a custom built car, and the twin turbo happens to be a factory option that gets fitted when the car is built by its OEM.

That's like saying an N1 spec GT-R is an "aftermarket upgrade" because it doesn't have the ceramic turbos etc of the regular GT-R.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
