Yeah, it was a great article, I liked how they also focused on the problems in company that it had. What surprised me too was the weight, and the skidpad of 1.3. I know the skidpad isn't the only factor in handling, but 1.3g has to say something.
As for the weight, it saddened me greatly. If Bugatti didn't make Bugattis but instead real track cars, this Veyron would provide ample competition ofr the TVR Speed 12. As is, I think Bugatti missed a real opportunity to create the ULTIMATE road car.
Hey, maybe they'll make a Veyron later that is trimmed down, a real racing car for consumers. HEHE...drool.
