Holy Launch!!!

Not sure if this is a repost. Just saw it on LS1tech.

Something about that first Veyron launch video just doesn't seem right. It seems to have been slightly monkeyed with.... as in sped up just a tad. Either that camraman had a super steady and accurate shooting hand or he edited the film ala "Batman Style". Not even top fuel dragsters take off that well... not to mention the supernatural grip that those tires must have required for a launch like that... even if it's AWD.

I call BS.

On the second video... why did they chose a weak *** 600cc sportbike to give chase? (I know that nobody can really answer that one... it was a rhetorical question. ) It's probably just the only bike that the Veyron's buddy had. I'm just saying that the chase bike should have been a GSX- R 1000 K6... those are some really fast bikes if I might say so myself.

The second one was an R1 chasing. Heres a nice comparison with it and some other sports cars.
