I doubt the Saleen would have the handling or braking package that the Bugatti has. Could the Saleen box handle the grunt? The tyres? Bugatti has looked at these issues and had the dollars to support the R&D. Naturally time (and customers) will tell if they got it right. I think the Bugatti would have more visual impact driving around than the Saleen whose shape has been around for years.

I'd choose the Bugatti.

It's easy to beat 400 in a straight line (well relatively ;-)

Put them both on the Nurburgring and see who wins over say 10 laps.

True, Americans only know how to make their cars go fast in a straight line still.

Yes, the bugatti is not just a 1000hp 4wd silly car

It really is a true push the limit of technology and physics pure racecar

Its basically a formula one equivelant road car with a warranty and reliablity way past 2 races :)

Yeah you could build a 1000hp GTR for 1/10th the price. But it would never be the same as the rediculously engineered veyron

It has set a benchmark that no company can reach, not without a billion dollars and the equivelant 7 or whatever years of development

And by then, they will have updated the veyron even more

You're right.

Because Volkswagen wanted to commemorate their rich F1 history, by building a car that weighs over 2 tons (which says "F1 technology" to me).

It will be a true, BEAST.......... .... ... when it gets released!

haha

Have a look at this page

http://www.bugattipage.com/ride.htm

On another note, how often do you think you will be cruising at 400km/h in Australia. This car is way too much for Australia, specially on our crappy roads. Give me this in germany, AUTOBAHN BABY!

From that webpage

EPA city driving: 7 mpg = 40L/100

EPA highway driving: 10 mpg = 28L/100

Steady 253 mph: 3 mpg = 95L/100

Now stop whining about your bad "13L/100" fuel economy! hahahaha

You're right.

note the word basically mate :P

and considering its faster than ferrari's 2005 spec F1 car AND weighs more than 1400kg more than it ...

Faster in a straight line only.

U will have to take the thing to a place like NT to get close to even 400 licks here in aus.

I think linsay fox has ordered one for his car museum here in vic so we might get to see one in person.

If they are only making em left hand drive like the carrera gt and enzo then we won’t see them on the road here in aus anyway.

i don't know how much of you know they Saleen, for those who watch top gear and some discovery channel show which reviewed all the current supercars, you would know that the saleen S7, not this new one, but the current one, can hold its own weight in down force. It can literally drive up-side-down apparently. It doesn't need 4wd because it has also been well designed.

People who read Jeremy Clarkson's review of the veyron would know that its top speed cuts down to about 340 or 360 (can't remember exactly) when the wing is up, otherwise it would be wayy too dangerous.

I'd take the saleen.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
