Always gonna be a non starter for the M3.

But it's one ugly beast the Veyron, the colour ot that particular one was simply hideous!
its 4wd, i didnt see him struggling for traction at all.. he just gave the m3 a head start, the veyron driver didnt even launch the car

Now I'd like to see the R8 v M3.....
m3 i think will beat the r8, r8 is lighter but once rolling has far more trans losses compared to the similar powered m3

the m5 touring is actually quicker 0-100mph than the r8, which puts to bed quite quickly the

m5 saloon vs rs4 debate

i cant remember exactly but i had a magazine once which compared the veyron with the carrera gt and enzo etc, and the enzo i think did 0-125mph in 7 sec and the veyron had blitzed it by coupla seconds i think

veyron 0-186mph in 16.7 seconds
