Would own!

Good god... It's a shame Hennessey is a beat off

 

[SleeperLS]

Holy cow

This thing is a monster. I can't even imagine the G force from acceleration. Even the 1/4 mile is damn fast. Most of these really high speed cars 1/4 time usually isn't that great because they are focused on the higher top end speeds.

" nothing will ever feel fast again" awesome line!

 

[brandoLSX]

Best line ever.

 

[slowchevy]

this just proves one thing......

Pretty ridiculous to watch. It's hard to see the speedo at times, but you can get an idea of how fast that thing is:

done on a public road

 

[BS ISF]

why's it a waste..

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say he doesn't drive that thing hard at all.

 

[slowchevy]

i'd venture to say most people who buy expensive cars don't push them to their limits. how many veyrons actually ever see 150+ do you think.

now this car is different. but still.. right ?

 

[BS ISF]

true.

 

[brandoLSX]

can't believe that steven tyler has one of these! ugh what a waste.

ahhhgreeed.

 

[wolfe]

That mph is huge in the 1/4

[brandoLSX]

Wowowowow yes. I just wanna ride I'm one.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Thing sounds like a fucking jet going down the strip. God damnit that's amazing.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

I don't know the details on the contruction, but something about a chopped up lotus with a custom turbo ls9 driving only 2 wheels just seems like it would be very scary to drive over 200mph compared to a veyron that was built from scratch.

 

[Mitchubishievo]

They haven't tested for top speed yet right? Though I don't see 278 being outta the realm of possibility. This car is straight unreal.

 

[DOC-Z]

I was just reading about this thing yesterday. That car is absolutely INsAne!

I'd love to see the car that beats THIS!
