I can't prove it, neither can you. If you refuse to look at the numbers presented, you might as well press here and never come back. There is no chance in hell either one of us is presented the opertuneny to testdrive both cars at a track.
Yes, the Veyron wil probably have less power to the wheels, but how can you seriously think the Sixteen will successfully get more power to the ground and still keep up with the Veyron?

and that "slightly modified off the shelf" automatic is likely the best 4 speed in the world, the fact its relativly unmodified is proof of that.
Just because it's the only gearbox GM had that could handle the power, doesn't mean it's the best. They could have made a new one, and probably learned a thing or two, but that would cost money...

neither of these cars would perform well enough for their pricetag/technology regardless, they're image cars.
If you look at the Sixteen, I can see that, but if the Veyron is everything it looks to be, I don't agree.
