Secondly #12, I would suppose certain people would eat gold dipped strawberries so they can have a more "Opulent" bowel movement. Thirdly if you love cars soooo much to buy one of these why in the heck not field a team in motorsports for that type of money instead?

Plus it uses a modified 406ci GM block (custom built by American Speed) pumping out a healthy 720, naturally aspirated, horse power, it is fully street legal including Europe and USA, and it costs about 1/10 as much as the Veyron. Why shell out a fortune for a very very fast car that you will probably drive very very slowly in-front of ultra-exclusive nightclubs in order to impress supermodels when you can can own a true supercar with much better performance and spirit?

That means that 1.5 billion was spent on the car, which is reasonable. That could be offset by selling one thousand Veyrons, someting that is possible. I think in the end the production might be upped a little. Also, there are rumors of a Veyron GT version with 1,250 hp and top speed of 252 mph.

The gap between the "have's" and the "have nots" in this country is getting larger and larger every day. Katrina forced poor people in the gulf to run like rats from water, yet there are more and more McMansions going up, corporate and political scandals abound, etc. Ah, this crap is always going on.
