    A bit hard... it's an automatic

    Bugatti does have an AWD advantage though. Would not have made much difference if it were at higher speeds anyways

    Didn't really know, thought paddles perhaps. But it downshifted or not, and there it went wrong (that's my humble opinion )

    Of course the Veyron is quicker, but there also went something wrong with the SLR in the first run.

    Yeah, I could hear the engine hitting the rev limiter on the first run during downshifting.
