I love this video, it clearly shows how you can have a car that outclasses your opponent in every way and get beaten (or make a good showing in this case) by a better driver. This should have been a slaughter.

The bugatti is a semi auto all u gotta do is push the stick.... Driver had nothing to do with that and vehicle weight, gearing and aerodynamics have evrything tO do with it.

You need a LOT of road to really experience either of these cars.

He completely jacked the launch in the Veyron

You realize it runs 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and low 10's at around 140 (the ss runs 9's at 145+)in the 1/4 right? It out classes the McClaren in every acceleration test (McClaren 0-60 3.2, 1/4 at 11.1 @ 138) The Veyron should have walked it from the first foot and never looked back. He utterly botched the launch and bogged it down.

That really might just be how a Veyron launches, considering it has four turbos and is pretty heavy (over two tons IIRC). It probably has different launch modes as well. With an automated manual transmission it might not be as easy as just holding down both pedals and then letting go of the left one.

regardless, you are talking a 10 second car vs an 11 sec car, he flat out got schooled off the line. Granted this guy jumps the start but watch it takeoff in the first run here and this guy backs off for a split second, and this is a modified GT-R which is one of the best launching cars ever made.
