VIDEO: Taking The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport For A Spin

After seeing the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, I can really say that the Veyron is overrated. Don't get me wrong; its not a bad car, but for that price rank and those amount of cylinders, you would think it should be faster. It really comes down to the fact which the Veyron isn't all what it is crack up to be.

Awwwww...thanks Inline6, we are back to normal. I can smell the fresh roses. I thought for while we will be in constant agreement, but I'm happy hell is not cold. Now, I will direct you to Jaylenosgarage.com and put in the search engine Ultimate Aero TT. You, will find everything you said to be debunk or obliterated in some form or fashion. The car is a great car, no matter how you put it. Has the same power and 8 less cylinders as the Veyron, and weights less. You do the math. Nevertheless, for a nice while the SSC had the record of the world fastest production car. And yeah, there's a such thing called inertia. After obtaining a certain velocity the power to weight ratio, the weight is then slowly phase out (never completely, but momentarily to a certain point until all the opposing forces are at their maximal) in the process.

Sorry, but the Ultimate Aero TT is just a hodge podge of bad materials and design on the interior. Anyone who cant tell the difference in quality between it and the Bugatti are either blind or stupid. The engine is nothing brilliant either, just a super high boost push rod Chevy. I've seen those engines at the drag strip... they get rebuilt once every other race. If the Bugatti is a Bentley that goes 250MPH, the Ultimate Aero is drag car with an upgraded interior.

You know, I would argue with you on your opinion, but it just would be a waste of time. I would though tell you to first take the time to read and second, if you want an argument with me you will then need to have all the straight facts and not just opinion. Nevertheless, I do respect your "opinion." Its whatever floats your boat.

My "opinion" is no less valid than yours. But I would argue that either of our opinions are less valuable than these:

Here, let me quote you a few:

"...the body looks like something from the mid-1990s, with noticeable variances in some panel gaps."

"The interior leaves much to be desired"

"...it either sets off like a dragster or stalls"

"Although the TT can serve up salt flats-shrinking speed, the brakes on this particular car are something of a mystery. The brochure states that eight-piston calipers should be fitted at the front, but this one had four-pot units. The pedal pressure required is inordinately high, with almost no feel or power."


I went to your link and put in your search and Jey Leno had a lot to say about the power and speed but that's about it. And he had to yell over the sound of the car for his voice to be heard on the video.

If you can come up with reasons why this car is better than the Bugatti other than the speed for the money, I'll listen.

Ummm.....this will be interesting after all. So, you are arguing on the stance of the British? Correct if I'm wrong, but when it comes to the British on American's automotive, they are viewed to be very bias and skewed towards their own objectives. In other words you are going to quote from the most bias people against American's automotive. Wow, really? Good one! They have as much consistency as a man who drunk ten bottles of pepto-bismol. You are talking about the people who didn't give the Dodge Viper its just do when it had the fastest lap time around the ring; but oh, when good old Gumpert does it after so many attempts, they ride their sacks as if you would think that they are trying to have a baby. The same people who had the "opinion" about the Corvette? The very same car who single handily murdered the Germans and British "super cars" on the ring. Give me a break with your bias opinions. And if you want to do some real facts then we should do a cost benefit analysis. Because clearly the SSC is a better car. So, question? Why have twice as many cylinders if you are going to produce the same amount of horse power? Engineering marvel my gluts.

Thanks for arguing with me, because you could have chosen anyone else to argue with. Please put all trays in an upright position and remove any surrounding trash around you. Again thank you for arguing with and have a great day.

Oh, I get it.. They're bias because their British. If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black. Sorry, but if SCC is so fond of their car, maybe they should let some other reviewers drive it to give their opinions. Worked well for Pagani when they knew they had something. But they haven't, have they? The only two out there are Jay Lenno, who to my knowledge has not given ANY car a bad review, and one other serious publication which we must dismiss because of the accent of the guy who wrote it.

The fact that you bring up "cost benefit analysis" and number of cylinders just screams of the "I can put a turbo in my Honda and make it better than your BMW for less money" camp which I 'spose is why you still haven't told me a single reason why this car is better than a Bugatti other than the cheap cost of its speed.

Also, I fail to see what argument you're making with number of cylinders. Your premise that having more cylinders should make more power is simply false.

First off lets come back down to a place I like to call earth. Really? It would take and extreme amount of boost for a Honda, albeit the S2000, to even hit 180 let alone 200. So, question? (sarcasm by the way) Do actually think that the Bugatti should cost over a million considering the Ultimate Aero TT? Now, if you read my previous postings before jumping to conclusions, you would then note that I stated that it is a great car, but next to the Aero TT it is overrated.

Look, I'm like the next guy who would buy a Bugatti just on the premise of no one else would be able to afford it, but if I was a conservative shopper I would buy a Aero TT or even LF-A, because the Bugatti doesn't do anything special for me. It just says I have a lot more cylinders. Whoopie doo.

Another thing, I want you to know that if anyone has the most credits and validity its Jay Leno, because the fact of the matter is He can buy one with out flinching. If you ask me Jay Leno is a true connoisseur of any fine automotive period. And if you take note and analyze the way Jay Leno critique the automobiles you will know that he gives his honest opinion about the cars he drives. He just doesn't bash them because he doesn't agree with a particular ideology of a company unlike old boy Jeremy Clarkson who just tries his best to cut the (you place a word here) off a company if he doesn't agree all to well with them.

So, is the SSC is a better looking and styled car than the Bugatti? Certainly not, but when compared on a level of why in the world do I have to pay over a million dollars for a car that boast it has the most horse power or is the fastest when I have a car that is relatively cheaper, which can do the same thing? And for that the Bugatti is overrated. Is it a bad car? No, its a fantastic car, but not for a million dollars. You telling me that they can't do that for 600k or less? Come on give me a break.
