I understand that, but an easy way to compare and understand capabilities is a standard time/distance most here are familiar with. The MPH in the 1/4 will give you a good idea of the kind of power a car makes.

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.

Thank you! I agree just because it's 1.5 million dollars doesn't mean it cant be beat!

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.

What are you talking about? Who is comparing the cars? It's only the speed of the two cars in that video being compared in this thread. Faster in a 1/4 or faster in a standing mile, whichever you like better. The rest of the stuff in your post doesn't even need a response.

Also, it's spelled quarter not quater.

Are we not simply talking about who's faster in that race, in that video? Where are you coming up with 15 minutes, Lambo's, and comfort?

15 minutes? According to Car and Driver, the Veyron's fuel consumption at 253 mph was 3.0 mpg. At full throttle its 26.4 gallon fuel tank empties in just 12 minutes 46 seconds. After 15 minutes at a continuous 253 mph the tires would melt.

So in other words you would never be able to reach the point of melting tires.
