    it's not a huge bump from the standard (jebus, can't believe I'm saying "standard") Veyron, even if it's a big challenge technically. I'm curious to see which modification will be used to keep it on the ground. I hated the restriction used to allow the "standard" one to reach its max speed. I for one don't think it's right to say it's the fastet car since a lot of other supercar modified in a "max speed set up" could reach that speed and maybe even more, but than they would be unusable in that set-up, like the Veyron. McLaren F1, Koenigsegg CCX and SSC Aero are much better, but I'm not one of those who think that the fastest car is even the better.

    I heard they got god to hold the car down on the ground but he wasn't strong enough, so Zeus came along and he totally had enough downforce, and all was well again.

    What "restriction" did they use to get it to 407kmh?

    the rear wing is in a horizontal position, allowing just a better aerodynamic penetration but way less downforce, maybe almost none, so basically no handling. the ground clearance is reduced to 45 mm, even a little rock can reduce that space of about the 10%, with eventually big aero problems. the simply fact that you need a second key, and that you need to sign some kind of contract to have it, and that they ask you to check to whole road (track) you are going to face at that speed, and that at that speed you are going to destroy the tires in 15 minutes...
    basically, you can't just take the car and flat out. neither in other supercars, but I never read/heard of so many stuff connected to the top speed of another supercar.
    the Veyron is unusable in that set up. just look at the different angle of the rear wing between normal mode and max-speed mode.

    see above, but don't worry, the fuel is going to finish in 12 minutes so if you have new tires you are safe

    Who the hell would do 407 km/h for 12 minutes anyway? The adrenaline rush alone for a couple of seconds at that speed would be far enough for me thank you.

    More importantly, where would you do 407km/h?

    And? You're not likely just point and squirt that horrible Diablo kit car SSC up to 400+kmh anytime you think about it. Checking the road before you do 407kmh? Imagine that!
