    200 more HP, 2,000lbs less, 1,000,000x better looking than the Veyron.

    Looks are subjective, performance figures are fact. To have such a small disparity in performance vs such high power and weight differences is a testament to the Veyron's engineering, which should be highly respected. Personally, I think the veyron looks dope, and the interior is flat out gorgeous. Anyone can go and make what basically amounts to a kit car that puts out silly ass numbers like these, but too pull it off in such an amazing overall package like the veyron isn't an easy task.

    That's why you have half a million dollars left over to customize it however you'd like.
