No bugatti sold will ever go faster than 258 mph. they are all limited, even the 5 world record edition cars sold, the super sport or any other veyron. all are limited to 258 mph.

I don't know this answer and I'm not trying to be smart, but then why did Guiness put them in their book of World records at 267.86?

Guinness reconfirms Bugatti Veyron's world record top speed - Autoblog

I read speed limiter removed, and also read 258 mph with it.

Quote:
Guinness has settled the matter by stating that "a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine."
Could go here I suppose...

Quote:
The world record authority defines "production" as building at least 50 examples and only 29 Venoms are supposed to be built, though Guinness does permit itself to grant exceptions.

That doesnt mean a thing, thats what Guinness says
someone buys a veyron ss and a venom gt, which is faster?
As far as how many cars are made i think 29 cars is enough to call it production.

Sorry to cut off your supercar talk, but I'm bringing it back to LOW and Slow's.

I love the 57 Ranchero's. This one has been around Southern California for a while. To me this is just perfect.

The owner built the car to use and show, not to sit in a garage. Not much he can do when a strom rolls through, he could leave the show drive home in the rain or let his car get a little wet.

No really much of a task for Bugatti to plug in laptop and remove said limiter though.

Besides where are owners likely to have both the bollox and the space to run over 258mph (in both the Elise i mean Venom GT and the Veyron).

It's like having a naked Jessica Alba straddle you and complaining because you can't see the TV

Not quite a cool pic, but a very cool car.
I took this pic a few days ago, on my way home from work.

If you look closely you can see my car in the hubcap.

I think you guys are getting confused on the difference between production and mass production based rigs. None of the cars being discussed would be considered mass production, they're all limited run supercars so the argument is pretty much nil anyway. Whether they produce 29 or 2900, it's still being produced by Hennessey Performance. Not that it will ever matter for most of us.

seriously????? you guys are going to continue to carry on this totally off topic super car discussion in this thread about "COOL PICS"??

take it to new thread, please, and let us enjoy the pics without your commentary

as entertaining as it is, I like the pics more than reading your banter.
