Bugatti Veyron or Mc Laren F1

[SPANISH-RICE]

id take the veyron because the f1 is ugly as hell

[capitlj]

Unless I can turn the three seats in the F1 into a single seat, Veyron albeit one without any paint at all. I think that's when the Bugatti looks its best.

Oh and btw these threads aren't a waste of space it gets us interacting with each other. These are the exact kind of questions you ask your friends when you are sitting around BS'n.

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

oops chuck beat me to it I would go with the F1 all the way the exhaust is worth $30,000 and made of gold

[thrash]

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.

[DelSlow]

Nu Uh Mitch. The whole thing: Gold.

Well shit, no wonder that car is so expensive.....

[thrash]

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.
