You also have the richard hammond character who's more annoying than I ever thought was physically possible. Once again, can't drive to save his life. So top speed is what makes your "thrill value"? If that's so, go buy a bike, accelerate faster and actually be able to rock it out on the track. The veyron is alright on the track, but it's power just gives it the real boost in the straights. Zonda has power, weights less, and still has full interior. Track Zonda F Veyron Nordschleife 7:32 7:40 If I'm not mistaken, that seem to say that quickest accelerator doesn't hold it's weight in the true measure of the car. Congrats, a sound system.

yeah and there are a handful of porsches and spec racers that have beaten the zondas time.

but i suppose the porsche 956 is what youre after if the nurburgring is your judgement:
