lol got done watching the videos as well. I like how they still put the buggati up on a silver plate after it gets absolutely handled.

Wish they had the ccxr out there...probably did not want it to handle the overpriced supercar as well.

Vette would have beat it if they had a chance to put some tires on it.

Oh, well there might be a rematch.

While the Bugatti did get beaten, it wasn't by a production car. The Bugatti is 100% stock. It beat the vette because it had better traction. The Viper won because its fuggin sick Don't get me wrong, I think they're all badass.

I see what your saying, but your missing the point. And yes, these cars are all badass.

They are decieving the fact about it losing by the articulation they use in the article and the video.

They amplify the races it won like 0-60 and first car to the mile marker, and lessen the facts of the 0-200mph race, the race they came there in the first place to do.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems the writers and producers are on the buggati nuts after it gets absolutely handled. And it doesn't seem to just be the fact that it's a production car.

That's just MHO.

I read the article in the magazine, the best part is the picture of the vette smoking the tires and it says something like "shifting into third at 125mph and the tires light up in smoke" !!!!!

The vette trashed the stock diff at the end...good stuff.
