I don't see why it's so unbelievable to a car forum that a car is faster then another car. Who cares if it's 1.5 million and has nice materials and engineering. There are DSM's faster then a Bugatti(a lot of them actually).

They are nice cars, but they are not the fastest things on the road.
Well, I know that it took John Shepherd 7.70 seconds to reach 191 mph. However, can he maintain this speed for 15 minutes and not self destruct? Can the ride be just as comfortable at 50mph as it is at 240mph? Can you get into your talon and genuinely feel the satisfaction of getting into one of the best supercars in the world? No matter how fast my DSM would ever be, I would trade it for a Lambo, Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Bugatti, even a BMW in a heartbeat, because it is more to the car than just going fast in a straight line. Plus what do you mean by "faster than bugatti". What is the definition of "faster"? A quatermile race? Quatermile means absolutely nothing.
