1/4--10.9 @ 140
All out--248
300' skid pad--1.04g

OK, then maybe the Carerra GT too.

Actually, I'd be really happy with a new Z06.

"It seems almost pointless to mention, but as you can imagine fuel consumption is significant. On our drive, the car averaged a staggering 44 L/100 km, which is truly impressive. Admittedly, we were travelling rather, um, briskly, but sedate driving will only return 30-ish anyway. While on the subject of fuel economy, it's amusing to note that at V-max the Veyron's 100 litres of premium fuel will be consumed in about 12 minutes ? or 81.4 kilometres. If you don't have a calculator handy that's 125 L/100km!"

For those not metricated that's canadian litres, which converts to 3.04mpg (american) or 2.53mpg (UK).

81.4 km = 50.58 miles

But this is all a bit theoretical cause there isn't a straight road anywhere long enough and also:

"If we had really wanted to try for V-max, we would have had to come to a complete stop and use the ignition key to set the car into top-speed mode. In this setting, the Veyron drops its body snugly over the wheels (only 65 mm front and 70 mm rear of ground clearance remain), the wing retracts to a low-profile setting just above the rear fenders and various vents are closed to smooth airflow around and under the car. Without these aerodynamic adjustments the car's 1001 hp will push it to only 375 km/h. If at any time the driver jumps out of the throttle, makes a significant steering input or touches the brakes, the car defaults to the handling mode."[/i]

WHAT A CAR?!?!?!
Do bare in mind that even if someone gives you that car for free...you'd still have to be stinking rich just tu run it.
The fuel consumption is hilarious....Wonder how it comes in city traffic

You'd have to have extra fuel tanks like in F-18 Fighter jets to run that beast
