    Ok, yeah, you really need to stop with these comparisons.

    The Caparo is what I'd call a fast, road-legal, track car.
    The Veyron is a fast top speed wise Grand Tourer car.

    T1, looks great imo, and the power to weight ratio is awesome.

    I'd be more than happy to tie Gtek-i onto the damn windshield and have that 1000-mile trip again, it felt bad enough inside the minivan already.

    ...and I wouldn't mind crashing the minivan just to kill him.

    interesting comparison...

    sure its pointless, but then, if we stop and think about it, isn't a lot of what is on this site rather pointless in the long run?

    anyways...

    If I were to have one, I'd take the Veyron... its as fast as you'll ever need anything to be, but its comfortable too
