    I think the discovery channel had a program about the veyron not too long ago. It is incredible. It has 1,001 hp and 256 mph top speed! How do you get the job of test driving the car. I would love to have that job. The subframe takes a week to tig weld.

    That's incredible. It was their "ultimate factories" program and they did one on the Buggatti and the Audi A8. They did three takes in the Transformers movie because they were trying to crush the Audi and they couldn't do it. They dropped the scene I believe.

    They are real fast but also real ugly to my eyes. Dont they cost like a million bucks? For those kind of bucks Ill take 3 Ford GTs, all in different colors and a nice clean Saleen S7. (Naturally, I wont be able to fit in any of them but they will look great in my driveway.)

    Yeah I saw that episode, but it wasn't Transformers it was the first Iron Man movie.

    Regular one is little less than a million, the Super Sport is $1.6 Million but it is a turn key 10.2 @ 145 mph car with all the bells and whistles. Thought I wouldn't want to spend 20k on a set of tires.

    The tribute to Ayrton Senna was also great. Seeing Hamilton drive his old car was touching.
