The callaway sledgehammer corvette was clocked at 254mph on street tires. But i don't know just how "production" this car was though, it was an EXTREMELY limited(as in only 1 was ordered) option. Plus it sold for 200,000 at barrett-jackson last year. So for less than 1/5 the price and even faster(not by much) i'd definately take the 'vette. yeah, the veyron is quick but it’s not the fastest.

Do you actually own it yet? I'm a car enthusiast also who's had an NSX. My goal is to get a 360 spider in the next few years but the NSX keeps calling me back! John,

I was just about to post this. Great story, but definitely some cars missing from this comparo (Pagani, Zonda, etc. in addition to those already mentioned, woulda been cool too). Regardless, a good little read...even sans the twisties. Crap, John! I was just about to post this.

But then again, it allows me to charge more for my videography and photography services because of the wealth! I hate that teenagers driving an NSX in OC is regular.

My wife and I were leaving Fashion Island (Newport Beach) a couple of weeks ago and she noticed a car being unloaded from a trailer. It isn't uncommon for the mall to have cars on display so I took a closer look - it was a Veyron. I went over to see it as a guy was parking it. Turns out he was taking delivery of it, he had just bought it from a Lambo dealer in Vegas. Get this, when I told him it was a beautiful car (which it is, you have to see it in person) he said, "Yeah, I don't fit in it too well but my wife likes to drive it so I got it for her". The amount of wealth around here is staggering at times. I live in the OC (Orange County), Southern California.

Frankly, if the Bugatti didn't walk all over the rest of the field, I'd wonder where that money was going. I find the car somewhat ugly, to be honest, but that's just personal preference.
