    Anyway back to comparing cars that actually ran in this test; I wish the Corvette would have had more than one run to get a better time. Maybe next year they can bring it back and an S7TT.

    It is telling that anything which matches the Bug in 1 area can do so only by severely compromised others.
    I'd rather have a lightweight track car with a rougher ride and interior (Ultima GTR720, McLaren F1LM, etc.) than a 2-ton car with a huge engine that can only go in a straight line well.

    I said it can go only in a straight line well, as in it doesn't exactly handle the best (mainly because of its weight) although it is a good handler just not great like the Ultima.

    well we arnt comparing the veyron to the Ultima. We are comparing the Veyron to the Venom in cornering, I dont think that the Venom handles as well as the Veyron. Putting that much power onto 2 wheels and cornering would seem like doing a u turn with a rocket.

    That's basically what I just said except that there are plenty of road cars that can out handle it.

    The person that I was quoting wasn't comparing the Veyron and the Venom so, therefore, neither was I. Although I agree that the Veyron would outhandle the Venom.

    No I meant it can handle very well. It's reported to be very good in the corners. I doubt there are plenty of cars that could out handle it...

    And going off what Canuck said, I very highly doubt their are cars that handle like it with similar weight.

    If you put any stock in slalom numbers then, yes, there are plenty of cars that can outhandle it.

    I never said similar weight.

    My bad, I'm getting tired. Having to mow the yard and a 2 hour soccer practice in 110 degree heat can do that to a person.
