You'd have to have extra fuel tanks like in F-18 Fighter jets to run that beast
LOL...true...wonder what kind of fuel reserve they thought about? Like 40 liters reserve.

Yeah...typical reply.
You see there is a bit of a BIG difference between that bugatti and....well....let's say a carrera gt. I might afford the gas for a carrera gt right now, even though i can't afford the car, but FOR SURE i can't afford the gas on that veyron. I mean yeah i can if i want to add 50-100 km/week. There are differences trust me. But i said if someone gives the car to you for free. Also even if i have a bugatti i don't know where to service it. Would i have to drive it to Italy or another country just for an oil change and stuff...?
Also smth tells me that the carrera gt could be faster around a track especially if the track isn't a high speed one. AND ALSO THE SOUUUND OF THAT V10.

I would take the Maranello. It is one of the if not he most beautiful car I have ever seen. 200 mph all in the most stylish, simple and beautiful package. If not that one then probably the Carrera GT - I am a Porsche loyalist.

Sorry, you can't change your mind - you have to have the enzo (and anyway I want the Porsche now !)
