Tut, tut. The veyron is not just about its 253 mph (or whatever number it is ) top speed. its about the overall package. its not about 1001 hp. its about making that 1001 hp all day long. its about reliability and customer satisfaction. its about quality. its about the rest of the drivetrain which puts that to the ground. 1000 hp and more has been extracted from american v8s before. the keith black chrysler V8s used in drag racing make 1300+ hp when using methanol and 8000+ hp when using top fuel (nitro mix). hp is not the veyron's forte. its just incidental that it makes that much. its about WHY and HOW it makes that much. when will you guys ever understand that?
