Considering that it's the most expensive car in the world, I'm sure it corners pretty wellPSZeTa wrote:I wonder how that thing corners with that weight. _O-
perfect dragster??? I doubt it...^Sparco^ wrote: It's the perfect dragster
I'm sure your right, the car has been in testing for a while and it's always been faster than the mclaren. But quite frankly I got excited cos it goes over 250mph, thats the big acheivement. Athough if you asked any punter on the street what the fastest car in the world is, they'd still say Mclaren. But what can I say, I don't really follow supercar testings so it was news to medonaldgladden wrote:i hate to end the comotion but Mclaren been knocked of the top spot with the fastest Supercar when Bugatti Unleashed the Veyron. please if im wrong dont be afraid to flame me. i can take itchemicalcode wrote:Check this out, the Mclaren finally gets knocked off the top spot![]()

I did some calculation for you Stiggy.TheStig wrote: In acceleration weight is as important as is HP!
I don't know what the exact power to weight ratio is but it isn't as high as with some other cars.
