hotrain69 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Such an amazing looking car Does nothing for me same, didnt like the spoiler at the back and disappointing it didnt get in the top 3!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue meanie Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Dissappointed? it is close to 2 tonnes, and the other cars in the top 3 are pretty much track beasts. The veyron is a different animal altogether. More like a cross between a luxury cruiser, and a supercar, so the fact it was only 1 second slower than an out and out supercar is amazing.

rtbiscuit Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 nice car, but there are others i would own before the veyron. (In my fantasy world of course) these are cars i will only get to dream of sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 ive sat in both and had a play with the loud pedal on the zonda f (sadly in neutral) but zonda all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 How slow did it look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomfry Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Does nothing for me I'm with you on that one. No doubt its an awesome machine but its soo bland. Nothing exciting about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue meanie Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Does nothing for me I'm with you on that one. No doubt its an awesome machine but its soo bland. Nothing exciting about it. It was .5 seconds off the time for the Zonda F, and yet it was unexciting? Are g forces different in the Veyron? is acceleration different? For a car 800kgs heavier to do it in that time it had to have been anything but dull. Not really sure exactly how you can tell a dull/exciting car from just watching.

Jay Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I would rather have the zonda F! I just looks awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what your saying but that's down to its technical skills. It all looks too easy if that makes sense. The zonda seems more like a drivers supercar. Plus having seen both in the flesh the zonda easily takes it on looks. The rear tyres are ridiculous. But that's just how it should be. The veyron just looks like a passat.

WoREoD Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I just wonder who put the dent in the sill on the offside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I must admit I got a tickly feeling in my boxer shorts when the Zonda F was tearing about. What a note that comes off it and what a stunning looking car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Dont get me wrong, the Veyron is truley epic and it is great that they made it. The drag race this did shows how absolutely powerful it is, but on the track there didnt seem to be any hint of drama. I recon a spirited drive in the Zonda would leave you feeling like a bit of a hero - in the Veyron, like you were just along for the ride!

S1 HNK Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 totally agree Ian, i think its that well engineered that most of the fun has been taken out...still i wouldn't mind one if i had a spare million. the way it left the Zonda over that drag race though was just mind blowing!!!!! :scare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 the way it left the Zonda over that drag race though was just mind blowing!!!!! :scare: +1 - given how close they were on the track, it left it standing in the drag race. I would imaging if they did a datalog of both, the Zonda would be quicker in the corners and later on the brakes and the Veyron quicker on the straighter bits. Dont think the TG track is best suited to the Veyron, it would prefer much more open sweeping bends. The Veyron is a truely epic car, but as the others have said it just doesnt do it for me. Zonda F just sounds and looks so amazing in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The veyron just looks like a passat. The Passats must look pretty different round your way, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetZed Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I definitely prefer the Zonda although the other day I saw a Koenigsegg in lime green, had a bit of road presence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha well it's just the headlights that look similar to be fair. But i'm sure it has phaeton switches too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Veyron all the way for me especially in that White and with that air brake!!!!!! Zonda was alright but too over the top for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
