Anyone see the Top Gear episode where they test drove the Bugatti Veyron around a track up to 407km/h? That car is the most amazing piece of machinery, and just looks orgasmic

Catch a good crosswind at 150 and that thing will be doing more tumbles then a dryer.

Oh, and Viper ACR > Corvette ZR1. Officially.

If I had to pick one I would have the Ford Thunderbolt 427.
