Cars to “Master-Debate” over, Day 1

Unfortunately, I didn’t win Powerball Saturday night.  Some lucky white trash bastard who purchased a ticket along with two stale hot dogs and a six pack of Busch is probably grinning through all three teeth right now.  Needless to say, I had already started my shopping list.  I wouldn’t quit my job and go through my winnings like condoms at a brothel but I’d definitely “invest” in a car that makes me drool!  Thus begins my 15 awesome cars in 15 days.  And I don’t care if you follow this blog for the beer, not the cars, there’s no way you can’t get excited checking these out.  They’re not all street legal, they’re not all mass produced, some are old and some are new, but they’re all kick ass fast.  So starting with one I’ve mentioned here before and the one that would most require a winning lottery ticket to purchase:

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 – $2,027,760

a.       Currently the fastest accelerating street legal car in the world
b.       8L 16 cylinder engine with oh, just 1001 brake horsepower (bhp).  And QUAD turbos.  QUAD TURBOS!!!!  That’s four of them babies! 
c.        Mated to a 7 speed sequential tranny and AWD.
d.       0-60 in 2.46 seconds, and just 2.3 seconds to stop once you get there!
e.       Top speed of 253.3 mph.  The rear wing deploys and the front nose is pulled down around 130 mph.  Around 225 mph, the front diffuser flaps are shut to level the underbody completely and the spoiler is perfectly aligned with the chassis to keep it planted on the ground.
f.        Cool fact – At that speed you will run out of gas in about 10 minutes.
g.       Another cool fact – While testing the traction and stability control, a heavy van with camera equipment got stuck in a Scandinavian snowdrift – to be pulled out by the Veyron, which mastered this task like a professional tow truck.

Duh… who wouldn’t want to drive this thing? I bet it could scare me too, but you better believe I’ll floor it!
