Well there's faster car then the Veyron now...

[man]

You know whats sad? The car has about 200 more horsepower than the veyron, and it weighs close to 2000 lbs less, yet is only 4 mph faster. Thats where the engineering of the veyron really shines.

Untrue, this is a huge feat both from an aerodynamics and a horsepower standpoint. 4mph is quite significant. Weight has nothing to do with top speed, just acceleration. The only things that matter are power and CoD. So, once again, this is an enormous feat especially considering the budget comparisons. And the 0-60, it's barely slower and the Veyron has AWD.

At 250MPH 4 mph is significant. Watch the veyron top speed run... the acceleration almost comes to a crawl at the top end!

Let me know the next time you're driving 250mph and you need that extra 4mph to do what you set out to accomplish.

Keep your 4mph and I'll keep the $500,000.00++.

Exactly.

You also need frontal area so that you can use the cD to find the total amount of drag.

Yes, true. However, this is what wind tunnels are for (i've watched the one a Ga Tech run before, cool as shit)

But you also have to remember that the Cd and Cl both matter here.
