Handling is ruled first by physics, then by suspension.
Low center of gravity, weight balance, and width mean more than suspension settings for being glued to the pavement.
Cars like 997 have to use suspension to compensate for their higher center of gravity and then make the suspension stiff as hell to handle well along with the widest, stickiest rubber possible. Don't forget the elctronic nannies to overcome the heavy rear-end.
928 owners for example can buy very custom springs and shocks that equal 997 gt3 settings (stiffness and rebound) that just add to the superior physics already built into the shape.
Veyron is a turbo design not as pure as one-77 NA engine.
Zonda looks like a race car inside and out, nice but not sophisticated, not brioni suit material. Mclaren F1 as awesome as that is, it requires contortions to get in and out and is really a single seater.
One-77 has it all = low weight, enormous power, design brilliance, materials, numbers, looks, sound all in the ultimate lap of luxury, finest interior on the market today.

I agree with porsche and ferrari racing history, that is understood, but still other than the most dedicated boy racer, most people offered the choice between a Vanquish and a 997 free of charge 99 out of 100 take the Vanquish, so i guess "most desirable" is the correct label.
Say you don't like it if that is the case but i see no flaws or weaknesses and why bother talking price, it is $1,700,000. US btw.
