Re: Centrifugal Superchargers

no, the bugatti would not be able to get around a track, other than an oval but they don't count, faster than an enzo or zonda f. it would be faster off the line and faster in the straights but it's just too big, it weighs something rediculous like 4000lbs. it also doesn't have much downforce at all, the enzo, zonda, saleen s7, all of the other supercars have been desined in a wind tunnel to have a balance of downforce and low aerodynamic drag. they also have tuned suspensions, stiffened chasis, they are performance oriented machines that are meant to go around corners quickly, the veyron was meant to fast in a straight line and do it comfortably.

And i do give them credit for the 1000hp, the engine is phenominal, i just don't like their mindset, even if i had the money to buy one, if i could afford that, all the other supercars, and everything else i wanted, i wouldn't buy one because i don't support what they did. i like engineering, i don't like it when you pretty something up and sacrifice efficiency.

The cars i find most attractive are the zonda, the f40, the saleen s7, the koenigsegg cc, and other supercars (i don't find the enzo attractive because 1) i don't really like the look and 2) it's too desired, every damn teenager wants an enzo, i prefer something like the zonda, a car that no one in my school has heard of.). i also like musclecars, classic sports cars, and a few others. the reason i find the old ones attractive is because they had personality, they weren't all about making themselves pretty. anyways, i have to go make breakfast, ill argue some more later.
