This is a great video. Could you imagine getting in a car and seeing the speedometer goes up to 420 kmh.

Lololololol. The Koenigsegg can only do 245 without any downforce which means in corners its somewhat jittery and tough to handle.

In every single possible conceiable test and measurement the Buggatti beats it hands down - except looks, because i admit that the Koenigsegg is one nice hypercar.

If you think adjusting a brake bias will make much difference between these two cars in any track based environment, let alone on a road, you really have no clue what you are talking about.

Except perhaps the most comprehensive test, lapping the Nurburgring http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?vie...3&bottom=0

The Veyron is some 4100 lbs while the Koenigsegg is around 2600 lbs and has a higher horsepower/weight ratio. The lower weight helps it a lot on road courses.

The Koenigsegg also wins at the 1/4 mile, slalom, skidpad, and braking.

[/ QUOTE ] I didnt say brake bias would make the ccx so much better than the bugatti but adjustments would make a difference. Also Adjusting the suspension and other things would make a difference in how it handles. Your almost never going to go 250 miles an hour unless your in the middle of the dessert. Its also way lighter than the bugatti. Its also 1500 lbs lighter with only 150 less horsepower. Also the CCX costs $650K compared to Bugattis $1.4 mil. So nice try making me look like a total idiot but the Bugatti does not totally crush it. Take it around some sort of turns and see who wins. FWIW Top Gear tested it and had a couple complaints and it came in 2 seconds behind on their lap records for testing cars. Koenigsegg broguht one in with a spoiler on it and it set the record for fastest lap time.(although the spoiler brings the top speed down to a horrible 242)
