I don't know which I'd have. The F1 weights roughly 800kgs less, and despite all the suspension trickery the Veyron has, its as Colin Chapman said:

More engine power makes you faster on the straights. Loosing weight makes you faster everywhere.

But the flood of torque from the Veyron would just be such an imense feeling that overwhelms your body!
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Lets see the veyron take on the GTR on a track not just a straight line.
A true car has the entire package, not just a check book racers straight line drag weapon. Unlimit a few of the japanesse big boy cars and they eat the euro supercars.

LOL as if driving an RS6 Avant has anything to do with having a family - that wagon will tear the face off just about anything else in its price range - sedan , hatch , coupe all of them.

What im on about is that was purely a straight line drag.
And the GTR is limited, until its on a japanesse track.
