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.
