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.

    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
    • @GTSBoy iam not a mechanic so what could typically gone wrong? It can help my mechanic...maybe he just forgot something or something like that that could help. Yeah i thought. I took a LONG time to search for the right one. Yes i read about all of that and i give him a call about that. I look at those slave/master cylinders and they are not that expensive so i will be buying them anyway just to be sure.   @DuncanYou think it can be short? I double checked if that was a right one(it came with the clutch kit) Ok i will give him a call. Hope it is some sort of "little error" and not some "yeah the gearbox needs to go out" one
    • Temporary. Sorry about the inconvenience while we sort some issues.
