        In a 1 mile drag: Veyron

        Around the track @ Top Gear the Veyron is #6 overall fastest time whereas the F1 hasn't been tested (to my knowledge)

        I'd personally rather own a Veyron but drive a McLaren F1

              i don't think the F1 exhaust was gold. It's engine bay was lined with gold for heat reflective properties [i.e. gold heat shields], but i don't think the exhaust itself was gold. do you have a reference?

                    "The carbon fibre body panels and monocoque required significant heat insulation in the engine compartment, so Murray's solution was to line the engine bay with a highly efficient heat-reflector: gold foil. Approximately 25 g (0.8 ounce) of gold was used in each car"

                    fail.

                            a troy ounce of gold is right around $1000 on the spot market right now, and was considerably less in the early 90s when the car was made.

                            IOW: gold-leafing the engine bay with under 1oz (different than a troy ounce, but not by an order of magnitude) would be a rounding error in the price of that car.
