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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
