how about handling and looks? both of which the F1 is superior

the front end of the Veyron looks stupid IMO, and the thing is a lot heavier than the F1

Top gear test board, Veyron is 6. Ahead of Ferraris, Lambos..

While there's no Mclaren.. I'm quite sure it doesn't "shit" all over the Bugati.

WITH the wing. The Stig spun out with the pre-wing model. So, they put one on and sent it back..

Yep I remember that about the wing.

*edit* Oops...it was actually #3 instead of #4...even better.

I'd take the F1 for sure...the best buy for the money on that Top Gear list is in #12 though.

Just one man's opinion.

I'm a life-long Porsche fan.

That said, at 1/3 the price, #13 is more bang per buck.

Bang for the buck = Caterham Seven R500 FTMFWB!

I would bet money that the F1 would beat the Veyron's time on the TG track. It's a street-legal race car. The Bugatti is an elite Grand Touring car. They serve different purposes. Personally, I'd take the Bugatti

The Caterham is without question, one of the best cars on that list.

In current trim, though, I believe it is as pricey if not more than the Atom.

I'd be willing to pay more for the R500 than for the Atom... not only does it have a windshield, but it beat the Atom by a second and a half!

Caterham USA is listing Superlight rollers for $44k, figure $20-$30k for a drivetrain and you can beat an Enzo or a MC512 on the track? For a track toy, that's a mind-blowing value
