Most people don't know that the Bugatti has a "launch" switch. It is engaged by putting the front wheels into a straight position, push on the brake, put the car into gear, then push the launch button.
WOW. Nice cars. I found out it had a launch switch when I saw it race an 08 m3. It didnt go anywhere at first...thought he messed up....he then just launched and killed the m3 haha.

yes I have a bmw 650i convertible, a 1959 porsche speedster, a 72 ferrari daytona, a 74 ferrari dino 246 gts, an Aston Martin dbs and a Mercedes S600 sedan.
i drive the 599 gtb most of the time. The benz for work when necessary. Just took the Bugatti for a 200 mile trip and got it to 187 mph. Was smooth as silk.
Most people don't know that the Bugatti has a "launch" switch. It is engaged by putting the front wheels into a straight position, push on the brake, put the car into gear, then push the launch button. You then push the throttle to the floor whereby the engine revs to 2800. At that point you release your foot from the brake and in two seconds all four turbo chargers are released and the full 1000 horse power of the engine is unleashed. It feels like the blood is draining from your head and the g force requires that your hands be wrapped around the steering wheel with a firm grip to hang on. I have taped a $100 bill to the dash of the passenger side and told the rider he can have it if he can grab it after the launch engages and before we get to 100 mph. I have not lost yet. One person nearly passed out. I have done it 7 times, and every time is better than than before. It is a monumental rush.

That's a good bar trick with the $100.00 bill. Even trying to change a falling bill from 6ft high is tough much less one flying at you and only having less than 4 seconds to catch it. Nonetheless, the cars are very out of this world.
I'll buy you lunch ($100 max.) if you pick me up in the Buggatti. I'm in Dalls once a week Thursday or Friday? Perhaps I can get a chance to win the $100 back.
