    few data about the veyron i was given:

    set of 4 michelin tyres: 12,000 euro
    set of tyres and wheels: 58,000 euro
    new engine: 470,000 euro
    10 radiators
    tyres will last at full speed 14 minutes before exploding
    full tanks will last 12 minutes, so no worry about the tyres exploding



    By looking at those figures, I can tell that, it is the wallet that explodes first, so I wouldn't worry much about the tyres

    Dimitri, I hope you had a great day. It sounded just like a dream come true for any carlover, and I really hope you sucked it all in and got a helluva experience.
    Tell me, how does it handle? Sounds lik it's way too big to be "useful" on a track.
    Did you get a chance to drive it "normally", or was it all "just" a straightline blast-off?

    How did you like the SLR?


    Allan lambopower? good to see you here buddy. i was happily surprised with the SLR, the problems starts on curves, its really heavy. its more of a straight liner. but the built quality, the sound, the seating position, the interior were all amazing. and the front end of the car looks sick



    Yup, thats me! How are you? I drove a Veyron about a year and half ago for about an hour. I loved it. In my opinion, when it came to ease of speed, comfort, build quality my SLR was the closest thing to a Veyron.Of course the Veyron is the much faster of the 2. Driving the Veyron around town is soo easy, your grandma could do it. Id say to describe the Veyron I would picture a Murcielago, with 5x the power, 10x the brakes, with the ease and comfort of the SLR.
