2. Veyron in a Lake. youtube.
Also, at top speed they run out of gas in some ridiculously short time, forgotten what that is.

Awesome car nonetheless!

6. I have actually driven a Maseratti
Masseratti is an Italian word, Kind of like Ferrari. It means in the shop. Great fun when they run but that doesn't happen often.

7. I've heard that regarding the ultra expensice European sports cars.
Corvette is a bargain compared to them and Corvettes actually run.

18. Dodge Charger R/T (2008) and Chevy Camaro Z28 Conv (1995)
but alas I don't have a Maserati that does 185...(with apologies to Joe Walsh..) the Charger only goes 145 because of the computer (so they say on the intertubez... I've never done it..) the Camaro is limited to 130 from what I've heard also because the computer won't let it do more.

:P

29. No Maseratis. I did have Jaguars 1957, 59, and 78... One was very quick.
The Mk I was a very well designed car, and handsome. I loved the SU carbs, but the quick on I had used a small block with power glide.

30. No. I drive a Lamborghini Reventon that cost me a cool 1.6 million.
Edited on Sun Dec-06-09 01:54 AM by Double T
I keep it at my European Castle. My other car is a McLaren F1 that set me back $970,000.00. I use it when I'm visiting the 'corporate republic of greed' and I park it at my waterfront mansion in Boca Raton. Below are recent pictures I've taken of BOTH my chick magnets.

31. If you park the McClaren in Boca, why is it sitting at Willow Springs?
That's a long way to drive or transport it - all the way from Rosamond California to Boca Raton.

33. Well, if you could average 200 mph on the trip...
Rosamond, CA to Boca Raton, Fl = 2737 miles (using I-10)

Since the F1 can easily do 200 MPH, if you could average that, it would take a little over 13 and a half hours!

You would probably need a tire change in there somewhere (at least one) but what a blast of a drive, eh?

A little nostalgia for you;
