    Here's something else for you guys to ponder over. If you're actually interested enough to read through the page, there's a video of the test.

    0-100-0 in 9.4 seconds.

    That should read 0-100-0 in 9.4 seconds, which is pretty impressive. An F1 car does it in about 6.6 seconds.

    The Caparo T1 is supposed to be quicker, although not faster. I guess the Veyron would be nicer to run around town in, but the T1 is quite a bit cheaper, too.

    Argh, my bad. Thanks for the catch.

    The Caparo looks like it'd be AWESOME! A 3.5L V8 cranking out 480HP at 10,500rpm?! That's just insane.

    And there's a distributor in Atlanta, GA. I'm VERY tempted to go down there sometime and check them out! :D

    What does a $12,000 car wash on a $1,000,000 car look like?

    Like this:
    http://www.vxronline.co.uk/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=4618

    There are some great shots of the Veyron in here. It's really a beautiful machine.

    Some fun facts:
    At full speed, it will go through a tank of gas in under 11 minutes
    At full speed, the tires will pretty much shred after 15 minutes

    It will run out of gas first.

    The wax used on the car is $7,000 for an industrial size tub.

    I thought the most interesting point the video made was that the car could achieve 150 MPH using only 270 horsepower, but to reach 250 MPH (only 100 MPH more), an additional 730 was needed. Very cool!

    1001 horse power! Unbelievable!

    My Honda has 160. Gets a little bit better gas mileage however...
