[TroubleBound]

Gilchrist said he doesn't know if the car was salvageable

oh, about tree fiddy.

[MellowZ32]

I got tree-fiddy!why was he on the phone to begin with?

[billabong093]

[HashiriyaS14]

He accidentally the whole Veyron.

Accidentally.

The Veyron.

Just because you pick up your phone after it drops doesn't mean he was talking on the phone.

But seriously the joke is on you guys, he did this on purpose to get the insurance money

[dasoupdude]

You would normally think a car that cost a milly would have at least bluetooth.

[VG_240]

Yeah, but then again, I think the original basis of this car was to have you focus on driving it and enjoy the experience. I know I wouldn't bother answering my cell phone if I was driving one of these cars...

Am I the only one who has trouble thinking of the Veyron as a "million dollar sports car"? I don't really see "sports car" in it anywhere. More like million dollar luxury coupe.

-Performance wise its the fastest production car ever built ( i dont think its been beaten yet right?)-Its got many advanced features (the self adjusting spoiler, stance adjusting suspension) all geared towards performance-Its most impressive feature is its performance, power, handling, etc. not its luxury.

Im not sure why you have trouble viewing it as a sports car. Sure it has a pretty luxurious interior but to me that makes it even more amazing. Even with a fairly large and luxurious interior it still outperforms anything else on the road.

And of course theres always the whole 16 cylinders, 1000hp, 4 turbos, 10 radiators thing.

I might just be blindly in love but i can't get enough of the Veyron. Its an incredible machine in my opinion.

It does not outperform anything else on the road. The Veyron does ONE thing: top speed. it is not known for exceptional handling. It is not known for any other sports car traits. It JUST goes really fast. The Rolls Royce Phantom has a big V12 and goes really fast, too. It is not a sports car.

Adjustable spoilers and dynamic suspension are not high tech. The freaking Chrysler Crossfire has an adjustable spoiler. And tons of cars have dynamic suspension.

SPEED does not a sports car make. Just ask an Elise. Top speed is pointless for anything but bragging rights. It does not win races.

The Veyron is an exercise in over-the-top. Everything is done big. That is exactly the opposite of a sports car. Its top speed performance is neat, and it's an interesting car. But it's not a sports car. Line it up for comparison next to Corvettes, Ferraris, Lotuses, McLarens...it stands out as the big fat blob of excess. It's a luxury car with tons of power...which isn't really anything unique. All Rollses and Bentleys have lots of power, too.

[duffman1278]

I think what both MinisterofDOOM and billabon093 are trying to get at though is that the value of the vehicle has gone down.

[RCA]

Yea MoD hit it right on the head.

The car is DEFINITELY luxury. You will never see a Veryon on a track unless it is on Forza or GT.

[themadscientist]

Excuse me neighbor, you seem to be having some trouble. You need a tow?

[LambJerky]

Garbage. They should all be in lakes. 16.4 liters, 16 cylinders, quad-turbo.

Only 1000hp?

I hate argueing with people smarter than me LoL. (I knew you were, even before i started btw)

But to be honest ill always think of the Veyron as a sports car over a luxury car. And you'll probably think the other way. Its more of an opinion i guess. I see a sports car as pushing the limits and a 16 cylinder, 4 turbo, etc (stuff i said above) car certainly does that in my opinion.

Edit: I knew i was forgetting a few things. The Veyron is also much more well rounded from what i've read and seen. Acceleration of the fairly heavy, "luxury" car is good (0-60 in 2.5-2.8), and a couple of sites claim that "Its handling is almost as impressive as its top speed and acceleration". Heres the 5th gear handling test also, in case you haven't seen it in yet:http://videos.streetfire.net/v...2.htm

[Mr1der]

it doesn't hold the top speed record anymore either.

I believe it was beat by a car making about 200 less hp

Shelby America Arrow.

the Koenisseegegeegge isn't much slower either...and a real exotic.

[Heavy]

so much for that bird distracting him....

I think it's a Lambo, dude.

Seriously right?!?! Man you should totally engineer a better motor! and more power! In fact you should sell your vehicle and buy a veyron just so you can trash the hell out of it and show them how ballin you are.

[93coupe]

I would like to try lamb jerky. Never had it.

That was a stupid response. I am simply arguing against everyone saying it is some great marvel. It's a car for the fanboys.

Pound for pound it isn't very good.

[duffman1278]

Riiiiiiiiiight.
