By pure chance, I came across this today as well:

Is this test more 'real' or less 'real' than the first? Who knows, they're both cool vids.

Yeah - I see what they did there...

Anyone can bench race the numbers, which is essentially what those two videos filmed more than a decade apart and then spliced together is doing.

What Top Gear did was put the two cars together in the same place at the same time, they counted down from three, and then each driver mashed the gas and didn't let up. Sure, they didn't use the "Launch Mode" on the Veyron as many will complain, but I am sort of glad that they didn't, as without it there was more of a heads-up race between the two cars. Would it have been fair for Hammond to use launch control when The Stig didn't even have the benefit of traction control off the line?

In the end, the faster car still won - maybe not by the amount it could have, but it made for good show either way.

Now watched that Threads first link, and I have to say that unfortunately Bugatti has no balls, no, anything what I want a supercar. No challange. Just put your shoe on the floor and wait. I mean it. The driver just kicks the pedal on the floor and starts to fingering his nose. And the sound.....Well.... not really effected me much. Just whistling and really nothing more. Booring. My opinion.

And then the McLaren... what should I say?! The driver really drove that car, changing the gears, and whoh...the V12 really shouthing behind the seats. Changing 5th to 6th and what happens, the engine just rews on and the sound is glorious!

Yep, now I really can say, for me, McLaren F1 the best this priceclass supercar, ever made and will allways be.

As is always the case horses for courses just like the roadcar vs GTR controversy, you pays your not inconsiderable money and makes your choice from the heart or head.
