If it actually has run that 0-60 time, it was with slicks and a real sticky drag strip.

Oh, and I don't consider these $xxx,xxx carbon fiber race-cars-made-for-the-street to be true production cars. They are race cars with turn signals and no roll cage. :027:
The barabus is 270mph. The new veyron is 272mph. (both claimed)

I think buggatti made the new veyron to compete with the barabus. I still think buggatti could make the veyron faster still. 8L(?) W16 kicking out 1200BHP, it could (race tuned, F1 style) hit at least 1800.

Mike - The Fastest car right now 'officially' is the Koenigsegg ccr at 241.1 (or very close). Veyron that's out just now, would hammer it in a straight line; the ccr doesnt have great acceleration apparently.
