holy crap. call up mr slow, we want him to do it again :)

I thought they had to go to Nardo to make it official?

why Nardo?

Wouldn't it be official anywhere as long as you had all the proper eyewitnesses, testing materials, etc?

Most likely I heard wrong. I thought there was a specific track they had to go to for the official test or something, and I heard there was dispute over the Veyron for that. But then again, they used the same track for the McLaren as they did the F1, teh Koing...konig...konegggxxes..konegeagag...ya know, the Sweedish one, used Nardo.

^^^Must correct myself.

It was the McLaren boys throwing a fit about...the Sweedish one...because it achieved its record on Nardo, not the VW track that McLaren and the Veyron pulled it off on.

Thats the car that they used on Bullrun to do the demo runs. I saw one of those in person at the real Bullrun when they came here to the keys. Its nice and its faster then the Veyron but its not something a car affecionado would buy. The Veyron is a class act made of space craft technology and solid enough to do its 253mph run on a daily basis. just from looking at the AeroX you can tell it will fall apart if it does it three times in one day. Seriously its very flimsy.
