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.

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
