Damn that's fast. Has anyone dyno'd a Veyron yet? It sure didn't look like just a 70hp difference between those two cars.

I need to see a Veyron vs. CCX vid.

IMO that's LAME! but all it shows is straight line pull. I want to see a couple laps of the Veyron against the Ruf, or any decent handling, powerful sports car, on a twisty high speed track.

Based on the speed difference in this vid, the Ruf CTR wouldn't have stood a chance on anything short of an autocross.

LOL....I'd like to see all the cars that have been posted that can challenge the mighty Veyron. They will surely get their butts kicked.

where are you getting 70hp from? the RUF CTR Yellow Bird that hit a record 211mph in 1987 - which I'm assuming is what they are talking about here - had only 469hp! of course, it weighs some 1800 lbs lighter than the Veyron.

I was multi-tasking at the time and I thought it said it was 930hp, but it actually says it is 930 based.

469hp would definitely explain a lot.

that RUF was at full throttle...do you realize how much power you would need to not only catch up to that but to blow past it the way that the Veyron did? how much more raw power would you need to see to impress you?
