I can't understand why people drive around exotic sports cars like they are a normal practical car. Why drive it to work and put it in a parking garage? If you have that kind of money you should buy a exotic car for fun times and a more practical car such as a Bently or Mercedies for everyday use.

Besides, you're 33 hp off, it's 1001 for all versions. (lol, couldn't help it), and the Enzo is the better handler (it stays flat in any corner), just not faster in the straight due to it being at loss of 400 horses. ;)


Check the manufacturer site, all engines made so far have made 1034hp, 1001ps was the quoted power in the German scale, which equals about 987hp. Yes the bugatti does suffer from a lack of down force at high speeds, in the slightly more average speed range,100-170mph, it's about neck and nech. Don't forget about the braking, Veyron does win there with 250-0 in ten seconds, and that air brake does more than just loock cool, it adds an extra 0.65 G's of braking force.[;)]

lol, true true, I recalled 1001 hp for all models, and the US got the 1001 too, not jst the 987, but ehh, w/e, knowing bugatti it's more like 1200 lol, which they were able to get, but they were worried about cooling so it was tuned down. And the bugatti will dominate any car in accelaration at any speeds, so it's not neck and neck at all - bugatti absolutely owns! O_o And yessiree, the brakes are awesome :). Probably close to F1 car status....except those brakes are like 3.0 Gs at 200 mph i believe. lol, anyways, the point is....actually, there is no point. -_-

Fosho Hypergoliath, it's just plain insane, 0 to 62 in 2.5 second, DAAAAMN. As for the cooling, 4 big heat exchangers barely get the job ddone.LOL

And for those of you who also want to think less of the Zonda, it's an Enzo derivitive, mainly just the drive train and chassis, as is the Masteratti MC12.

Ill take an Ariel Atom:

Engine - 300BHP Supercharged i-Vtec (Equivelent to 1100BHP)
Weight - 1024lbs

If youve seen the Top Gear Episode on this its crazy. It clearly destroyed a performance superbike over their course by at least 2-3 seconds.

The Ariel Atom [:)] Pure 100% English heritage heh heh. I'd have an Atom over an Enzo anyday, the Enzo being one of the stupidest, gayest looking cars ever.

All "hypercars" are stupid IMO, they look idiotic and cost bare moollah! I'll stick with my ?????????30,000 Lancer Evo for everyday use and wish I had an Atom for when I wanted to drive at 200mph around a track accelerating as fast as a formula 1 car [:D]
