dry 1.18

wet 1.26 maybe

god bless the stig

[westtra]

i'm guessing slower hence the reason buggatti wouldn't let them run it them selfs and why they got a customers car

[col666]

If the bugatti had'nt have been on at the end I would have switched over after 10 mins, what an awful episode....yawn.

I wonder how the Veyron got the damaged sill?? Zonda is so much better looking the the veyron too.

[terzo neil]

you noticed that as well, the ding in the sill

[st3ph3n]

The Veyron looked like it was being driven on a playstation with all the driving aids turned on. It was like the Stig could have wrestled a better time out of it but the nanny state was keeping everything in line.

The Zonda though - that sound is amazing.

[ANDYJDMSTI]

So for us who did not see it what were the times??

the veyron was 1:18 point something and the zonda was 1:17.8

love that "pantamime" zonda!

[ANDYJDMSTI]

1:18 .............Damn that is not too good!!!

[Richie Cross]

Yeah, think the the Veyron is sitting in 5th on the leaderboard now.

[gambler]

The thing about the veyron is - it weighs nearly 2 tonnes. So even with 1000hp is only just over 500bhp/ton. The car is a technical exercise to hit some top trumps figures. 1000bhp and 400kph. Its still a great car as it could be used every day. Its just not focused for the track like the gumpert etc
