He deserves to die, no matter the reason. The French/Germans will be very angry.

Yeah he is a douche cuz he doens't know what a Bugatti is. I mean, what kind of douche doens't know what every supercar in the world is?
You know, if I didn't come to the lounge once in a while I wouldn't know a Bugatti if I saw one. Cuz I don't care about cars that I will never EVER even drive, let alone own.
Bunch of elitist cun†s.

Actually no precious. It is because of the way he said "Lambo dude" and made it sound like he would one some day.
If he said "I believe it is a Lamborgini kind sir" than that would have been acceptable.
Duh

He must have been a Virginia driver. These ****ing morons here in Virginia would wreck a rollercoaster. These people here couldn't drive if their tires were made out of velcro.

The only reason I know anything about what you guys are talking about is because of Top Gear. I love that show.

I know the Veyron isn't as attractive, but you really need to ride in one. I've never seen power or handling like this in a street-legal car, and I've ridden in an Atom, a Mc F1, and an Enzo.
(Ok, the F1 was more "fun", but didn't ride as well.)

Handling? It's too big and heavy to handle well... just look at its place on the Top Gear power lap time board.

Hmmm. I'll concede on power, but I'm a bit wary of "handling".
But come on, the sound of an RT12 is enough...
YouTube - RUF Rt12 -- My afternoon in Pfaffenhausen (2)
...good job that passenger seat is leather - it's making me moist just listening to that vid vibrate the old woofer and I've haven't even got the required plumbing for that kind of thing.

You'd be surprised. I think Stig was being too careful, I watched that ep. You can turn a lot of that **** off (the braking wing and limiters).

Yeah, for sound, it's better. But then, nothing on God's Earth beats the F1 for sound, it's just evil.

Never ridden in one. I'm told it's like you've got your head wedged up against a large superbike though. Sound about right?

The one I took a ride in still had the stock interior, so there is at least a small amount of sound-deadening material. You could actually carry on a conversation, but you're too busy listening to the hordes of hell trying to escape out the back.

Yes but for the world's "fastest" car, it's not THAT great. For me, I'd take three Zondas.

Oh my god. Dude... you have NO idea what the hell you are talking about. Dude. Yes it is. It has magnesium freakin turn signal stalks, instead of aluminum, to save weight. They are sold AT A LOSS, by VAG. The car has so much engineering car porn/technology shoved into it, that I will never take anything you say seriously, ever again. It was not built to be the "ultimate track car". The Gumpert rocks it on the track, but the Veyron can be driven by your MOM. It is luxurious with rare materials inside. It has an amazing sound system. It has AWD. It has..> EVERYTHING. All the other cars in the world are fairly plebian in comparison.

I don't want a Veyron to be driven by everyone's mum, who's the daddy now?
And in an economic recession, with Volkswagen already losing a crapload from taking on Porsche's debt, I don't think cars like this will be along much longer. After the Galabrier (sp), Bugatti is hopefully done.

Whatever dude. You've never shown an interest in anything automotive before, and now that top gear is "cool" you suddenly jump on the bandwagon and make some uninformed opinion that the once fastest supercar in the WORLD, and still one of the nicest and most coveted, is "too big and heavy"... it just hilarious. Have you even seen one in person? It is NOT a big car. I saw one in person in Chicago at GoldCoast Motors. It's NOT big. It is almost IDENTICAL in length to my 89 accord, about a foot wider, and 5" lower. Hence, it's smaller in almost every dimension to my 20 yr old honda coupe, except width.

You can call yourself a top gear fan when you admit how incredible one of the greatest cars in history is.

Is this the point where everything devolves into a flame war about neons?
It's uncanny: new Rob fighting against old Rob, who's exactly the same he used to be except for different cars and different girls...

Was more like a member had said basically nothing, ever, about anything automotive, then suddenly shows up with a Top Gear sig and spouts retarded opinions that don't make any sense. More like, don't pretend you know things just because you have an automotive related sig.
