    Meh...had a 1994 Ford Escort that would get up to 29.3mph in a standing mile; only 1 measly decimal point off this supercar.

    Now that is fast. I wonder if any safety upgrades were made, like a roll cage? That`s scary fast.

    Expensive ones! Was the first thing I was wondering too. I know Michelin engineered tires for the Veyron.

    Re: Texas Mile

    I`m really impressed they did it with factory bodywork! I was expecting to click the link and see some smoothed out/some sort of aero modded race car. Or the new one like trashman said.

    BudgetPlan1: I got out of a speeding ticket back in the day when I went to court and explained to the judge I had 3 other people in my automatic Chevette at the time. He knew the road I got the ticket on and agreed it never could have happened.
