Because bugatti are crap engineeriers. (I have no idea how to spell that)
It's a pretty cool car but dose it handle better than the normal Viper?

That front bumper looks like CRAP....but im not complaining about anything else....

Brain_6 · Nov 02, 2005, 6:19 AM

This car has very impressive stats 0-200mph in 19.9 secs OMG that is very insane. Styling is pretty much standard apart from a few areas but i am looking at this very negatively because of the Bugatti Veyron project taking soo long. I just don't feel that this car will have much to offer apart from straight line speed and also there is nothing mentioned relating to the cooling system and cooling aids for the components which will be running @ ridiculouly high temperatures.

And for that comment about Bugatti engineers being crap i will ignore because obviously not true as they are pretty much Volkswagon engineers or Audi engineers- call them crap? i don't think so.

It beats the Veyron and the front looks better than the orginal.. LOL that car owns!

Metallica Forever · Nov 02, 2005, 8:41 AM

You know after I read bout the Hennessey Venom.....I pity those Veyron owners.

nova · Nov 02, 2005, 9:12 AM

Are you kidding?? I LOVE the new front bumper, I didn't think Vipers were all that special before but that front really makes it look nice. I think that car found a way into my favorite 3 cars.

I agree. The Veyron has a W16 engine and four turbochargers...I'd expect it to be a LOT more powerful.

Heh sorry to double post, I didn't read the second page before I posted.

contrary to popular belief, the bugatti doesnt have that much HP for the size and complexity of its engine.

Theres skylines and supras roamings around with 1000+ HP and they have less than 5 liters.

Vipers are great cars, dodge engines are some of the best for muscle.

Aleksander · Nov 02, 2005, 9:27 AM

Yeah, Skylines are great

Vette's are s00pergay

JoeProte83 · Nov 02, 2005, 10:39 AM

yeah Supra and Skylines can reach 1000hp too but are just capable of runing from 200-230mph nothing more. and those engines are heavily tuned and I mean heavily. U compare that to this Tuned Viper and it looks like the Viper is just a child. it isn't so tuned and look the power it generates. just bore-stroke the engine, exhaust, engine management, t-turbos, air-air intercolers, injectors and that's it.

Actually, the Hennessey Vipers are almost all given Penske Quad-Adjustable shocks or something comperable. That's just one of the suspension mods on my uncle's Hennessey Venom 650. It pulls 1.03 G's on the skidpad and is one of the best road course handlers I've ever driven. They're not just straight-line monsters as you might think. Also, Hennesseys are known to be pretty bullet-proof, especially for tuner cars. I'm sure the car has more than adequate engine and turbo cooling. My uncle's Venom650 makes 670hp, naturally aspirated and has had no problems despite several thousand hard track miles on it. The only Hennessey failure I've ever even heard of was in a Venom 1000. Apparently they decided to take the air cleaners off for a little more air, (few extra hp), for a Road and Track 0-1 mile acceleration run. A rock flew up off the runway and into one of the massive turbos. Verdict: You almost have to do something stupid to break them.

By the way, in that 0-1 mile acceleration test, the Venom 1000 bested the mighty 2005 S7TT, and even had a higher terminal velocity than a Rocketsports Champ Car driven by Timo Glock at the end of the run. It passed the 1 mile line less than a second behind the Champ Car.

JoeProte83 · Nov 02, 2005, 1:50 PM

yes people think cause is a heavy american car it won't turn. and to pull more tha 1g in the skidpad is what u need to know it handles like an F1 car given the type of car it is.

lamborghini's are german · Nov 02, 2005, 5:52 PM

that cars is so friggin' awesome. ya'll know there's a comparison going between the Hennessy and the lingenfelter somewhere around here. the Venom needs some votes so go check it out.

JoeProte83 · Nov 02, 2005, 7:43 PM
