Does anyone, ANYONE on here actually own one of these super cars?
I don't own one... but my cousin owns a Saleen S7 TT... which is pretty fast... tops out at upwards of almost 230 mph... Actually many people you wouldn't expect own expensive cars like such... just depends... some of these people only make figures of upwards of 200k-300k a year.. but just don't have families or big families like of 7-9 people to have to fork over the money so they can indulge... I just hope I can start a car collection when I finish college ^_^
You think an IS-F is even capable of pushing that far? Or dare I say, the IS250?
Well you would but it would be highly aerodynamically unstable due to the obvious... but take a tt v6-v12 true sports car it wouldn't be hard as many tuning companies have shown...
speakin' of bugatti's,... i saw a veryon in S. Beach / Miami this Sunday, and that thing was ill,... and yessssss, I did have to stop and take a picture, and saw an Enzo that morning,... and yessss, stopped and took a picture... as well a whole sleu of lambo's and lesser ferraris....
Just remembered the XJ220 with a 3.5L twin turbo achieved 217mph in Nardo in 1992 with only 550hp. It's amazing cars of today (SSC TT) require 6.3L twin turbo and double the hourse power to achieve 40mph more.
the higher the speed, the more power is needed to reach it. i know theres a curve where the car needs a huge amount more power to reach that higher speed.
But Mclaren F1 can get to 240 with only 627...
Aerodynamics plays a big role on the cars... I wonder how much drive train loss is with those cars?
this maybe true, but if a remember correctly from Top Gear, the Veyron needed something like 200 bhp for the last 30 mph. something like that, but basically it will take more power to squeeze the last mph out.
When I start a thread with "car" in the title, the first thing I think about is........ hmm is there a forum with car in the title? ahhhhh.....yes. MOVED.
