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.

    • Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.
    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
