wonder if he had the traction control off on the veyron. i remember back when they first tested it they had to go through a whole bunch of shit to turn off the traction control. that would have given the veyron a better take off i think.
I'm guessing it's simply the weight difference. It looks like they both got an equal launch, but the Mclaren only weighs 2500 lbs, IIRC. The Veyron is 4000-plus.
everybody here has seen videos of the veyron launching much harder than that..... i think it may have been rigged a little for dramatic effect. Stig had a killer launch though, and im betting the F1 sounds like jesus singing when it gets revved up like that
