Re: Veyron vs. Barubus

The Brabus won't go as fast as they want it to, what limited the Veyron's top speed, the tyre's. The Veyron CAN go faster than it does, but VAG had to limit the engine because the tyre's wern't safe any faster. Who is Barabus tro just come out and say, "um yeah we can go 270mph", on what, dragster slicks? Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure it is possible to develop road legal tyre's that can go that fast, but they will not be good quality yre's to use day to day and they will likely cause death on anything but the dryest and smoothest roads. The same goes for the Barabus' 0-60 time, on anything but slick tyre's that's just not happning, it's rwd only so the power is going to be immensly hard to put down even at speeds of over 100mph, that car will be like a bomb waiting to go off if that guy's serious about building it and what it's capable of. My personal opinion is that he hopes to get the car faster than the Veyron, but that he'll fail.
