An old buddy of mine's car. He had a stupid fast typhoon. Fully built motor, a huge turbonetics bb turbo, the kid invested a lot into his car. He owned 3 typhoons, and a syclone... I think he was obsessed.

He was running 500-600 awhp and that thing scared the shit out of me on the streets.

Top Gear said that thing is 0-60 in 2.1 seconds... They also said that you could take a McLaren F1, put the two side by side, let the McLaren get to 140 mph and then take off, and the veyron would beat it to 200...Said it was speed limited to 252 mph...

Like Srika, I'd guess around 1.2 to 1.3. For reference, NHRA Pro Stock cars with 1,300+ HP, monster slicks, and drag tuned 4-link suspensions are just under one second to 60'.

This is a street tired (run-flats)1001 hp car with a suspension tuned for road handling. If it pulled a 1.6 60' I would be suprised given the amount of wheelspin present in that video.
