    I was talking about Porsches and the Saleen.

      The reason the saleen is that fast is due to all wheel drive. that's also a professional driver. My z is fast yes, is it the fastest no, is it the best bang for the buck yes. Also, it's on street tires.

      I would like to see a normal driver put the saleen in that fast. No way. There are guys doin the z in low 4's. but the saleen also has 800hp or what ever it is. We can argue this point all day long. The nice thing about driving those"dream" cars is to say that, I drive one. I can say I own my dream car so i'm happy.

      yeah it would be sweet to own one of those amazing cars. But I still dont' bet the average driver would be any faster in a z, bugati, ferarri, pcar or anything. Just my
      You are absolutely right that 1001hp won't stick to the street. The Bugatti has that much power b/c (correct if I'm wrong) it's supposed to be the fastest production car in the world. Top speed of something like 253mph. I was watching a show on Speed TV where they took one to top speed and it took miles and miles to get there and when they did, he said it was amazingly smooth.

      As far as best bang for the buck, you are right the Z is awesome! I wasn't knockin' your Z either b/c I LOVE them! Esp. the new ones! 500 N/A hp is amazing. I love that car and I hate that Ford came out w/ the GT500 that has 500 hp from a supercharged 5.4L and think it compares. The GT500 handles like a semi compared to the Z06.

      Speaking of bang for your buck, I bought my '04 Mach 1 new for $24,000 and it does 0-60 in 4.6 sec. Build up the motor, rear-end, and add a supercharger or twin turbo and is a fast car for under 50g's.

        One more thing about the Bugatti..

        First of all the gauges are sweet. I love the HP gauge on the bottom, right. Also look at the gas gauge. See the numbers on it? With a quad-turbo'd W16 motor, that must eat a ton of gas so are those numbers the "miles-til-empty"? lol full tank = 30 miles to empty?

          it's over a bill to fill up my truck, and almost a bill and a half for the boat that and I use about 5 bills a month in my corolla
          2.89/Gallon and on the water its $3.00/Ga on our lake and $3.52/Ga on the other lake we go to.

            THE HP IS ON THE BOTTOM LEFT AND THE GAS GAUGE IS EMPTY AT 10 FULL AT 27.5 1/2 TANK AT 20

                Unless the gas gauge tells you how many gallons you have left in the tank. It would make complete sense.

                  BUT THEN THE LAST ONE SHOULD BE 0 NOT 10

                    Maybe they don't want you to get below 10.... With a car that consumes that much gas so quickly, I don't think anyone wants to be under 10 gal of gas.

                        You might be fright but if you look at the location of the 20 its almost right on the needle so the same would go for the other side so you should be able to see it if it was there...

                          Look at all the other guages, they are slightly covered as well. And if you look closely you can see just a bit out white left of the 10

                                So does that mean you have to pay a gas guzzer's tax upon purchase?
