I don't know if you realize the Veyron engine is already extremely modified engine probably maximized and optimized to get the most possible HP or you think they just stopped at 1001 hp just because they liked the number?

You would be lucky to extract 10 more hp without breaking the engine.Do you realize how much is involved into getting 2000hp probably read a bit more about top fuel on wiki you will be surprised how much fuel is used not even close to 1 mpg.

The Bugatti special that aired on television stated that it wasn't maxed out on HP at all but they limited it to its current setting because anything more just wasn't functional for the car. They had a hard enough time trying to keep the thing on the ground at WOT.

That GTR is just __________! I can't think of a word to live up to it. Wow!

You sir, must be very young and inexperience.

Don't worry, you will understand someday

Btw, top fuel makes 8000 hp. And don't believe everything you read on the internet.
