    You can really see the weight of the car as it pulled the tires all over the place. It did not look "nimble," although fast.

    that was awsome.

    a serious question though. why is weight given as excuse for not being fastest car? it has awd, dual clutch trans, turbo, etc. that makes up for another car's weight problem, why not veyron too?

    The tighter the course with more sharp angle turns, the more it will prefer lighter cars - even when you watch the Veyron through "Chicago" turn and others in that clip, the tires are screaming and the car appears to be braking down to a lower speed than a lighter car would need.

    My excuse for the Bugatti is that the Zonda F is just sexier!
