In all fairness, if anyone was crazy enough to supercharge an Enzo in response, I think the tables would flip right back over...

 

yeah or just up the boost in the vayron to like 25 lbs and i would bet you would be up to like 1500hp.... any who anything over 600 is nuts to be on the streets with lol. hell even 400 still scares the sh*t out of me

 

well in all fairness, to quote alot of turbo compact guys, the veyron does have 8 more cylinders(sucking down 1.33 gallons of gas a minute) then the UAero, and the enzo has 4 more cynlinders.

 

ahhhh the war between Volumetric Efficiency and pure Displacement.....I love it!

 

hp is nothing if ya cant hook up the tires.

 

it looks good on paper.but that wont win you races.

 

Smoething tells me they aren't selling $1M rubber melters

This is the regular Aero, but 700 or 1000hp whats the differance

 

HP is not everything. The Bugatti has alot of power no doubt but I would rather be behind the wheel of a Enzo or the Shelby that Bobby brought up on a track(not a drag track)

 

aside from pitiful arguements over who has more of this, and who's got more of that... I'll take a McLaren F1 on a track if I had my choice of cars beat the **** out of.
