Bugatti Veyron - 530bhp/tonne
Ariel Atom SC - 490bhp/tonne
Ferrari Enzo - 476bhp/tonne
Ferrari F40 - 434bhp/tonne
Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 - 379bhp/tonne
Ferrari F430 - 333bhp/tonne
Lamborghini Gallardo - 314bhp/tonne
Nissan GTR - 275bhp/tonne
Ferrari 360 Spider - 275bhp/tonne
Porsche 996 Turbo - 272bhp/tonne
the vx will be about 340bhp/tonne when the internals are all sorted.

So you think you will be seeing off a f430?
No, the F430 will be gone from 60 onwards. Fact. It's not all about power/weight ratio. A Zonda F has about the same power to weight ratio as the Veyron iirc but would get wasted top end. The p/w certainly helps, but it's not the be all and end all. Especially in a straight line.

Whys it "fact" its not its an assumption, yes the f430 will be quicker but im sure you just plucked 60 out of mid air.

It's not bullshit. Do you honestly believe a 200 and odd bhp vx would stand ANY chance from 60+?

the F430 does the 1/4 mile in 11.9 seconds, i dont think ill do that.
i think it also does 0-100 in about 9 seconds or something similar..
again not sure how ill be in that dept.
alli know is that when i raced the nissan GTR he was only pulling a short distance on me, he had a car full and i was limited to 5.5k revs at the time

ive never used it. Never switched it on
the aux belt went along with the tensioner, it worked out cheaper to take the a/c out.
