The Z catches up, if you play it backwards.

This is a great top gear video about the veyron. It's a little long but worth it. Lots of good info about the car. You even get to see him switch it into different modes.

Yea, but that's only on paper. The spokesman of Bugatti said that they wanted to make sure everybody got at least the 1000 hp as advertised so they all make at least 1030.

On the Veyron...

These are quotes from a recent article on CNN from a test driver of the Veyron:

"Slip the jeweled key into the ignition, pause five seconds as fuel pumps spritz the 16 cylinder walls with high-test, and the engine ka-whomps to life, generating more than 1,500 kilowatts of energy (enough to power an average American home for a month) and emitting 1,000-degree-hot exhaust."

"Did I mention that it does zero to 60 in 2.4 seconds? That you can give a McLaren F1 (the previous fastest road car) a head start to 120 mph and still beat it to 200? That, in theory, you could drive the Veyron from Canada to Mexico in five hours?"

"The stereo system alone costs $30K. At top speed the car will drain its gas tank in 12 minutes. The engine has 3,700 parts, and its tachometer goes to 11,001."

"Bugatti is building only 300 Veyrons, and orders have outstripped production. One man bought two, one as an investment and the other as his daily commuter."

"As it happens, only two Veyrons had made it stateside, one of which was under glass in the showroom."

Emphasis mine. It has a 0-100 faster than some sports cars' 0-60.

They are just normal LED's. Its because of the camera thats causing that effect. Heres an explanation:

because of the refresh rate of the camera... since the led's blink at some rate per second like 60 or 1000 (i have no idea) and the camera's refresh rate is different from the led's, its showing parts in between the led's state of being on and off.. if u have a video camera point it at a led display or your computer screen and you should see some weird stuff happen...
