They Veyron just makes absolutely any car look ridiculously slow. I saw an onboard launch and after about 3 seconds it's doing about 100mph!

You know when someone comes on a forum and says that their CTR totally destroyed a Mini Cooper and the other guy was trying - that's the sort of distance I envisage. That is destroyed, that is owned. A car length is a victory and no more

What's up with the Bug's tail lights? Some sort of electrical glitch. I've seen that happen on another Veyron, not sure if it is the same car though.

Probably indicates that launch control is on?

I did that sort of damage to a Corsa this morning who weaved in and out of traffic to get behind me. Oh how I laughed. Hard.

It's LEDS on camcorders, something to do with the frequency vs the frame rate

Ahhhhh- really? I was wondering what was going on too.

That does destroy the 350Z - however I really want to see it up against a Pulsar. That's a real test. The Veyron driver will be $hitting it.
