You did. Here you go......


Bugatti EB100 & the new Bugatti Veyron. Both use 4 turbos, with the EB100 using a V12, and the Veyron using a W16. And, just to make sure that no power is wasted, they're both AWD as well. Those crazy guys at Bugatti. When in doubt, use too much

Actually, its a Pro Street drag car, so it does have a purpose. I'm not exactly sure how a Quad-Turbo Big Block 2000+hp machine gets classifies as "Street" but whatever. I can't believe I'm defending an F-Bod Just wanted to clarify that though.

That's some serious overcompensation. Otherwise that guy has a vagina and ovaries.

Seriously though, that's a damn impressive piece of muscle right there. I want nitrogen filled O-rings! **** gaskets! I just hope they take checks.

A wastegate is essentially a pressure controlled valve similar to a blow off valve in function, but obviously different in purpose. Anyway, the actuator is just the little motor that'll open and close the wastegate to hold/release pressure according to however they map the ECU to handle it. It's almost like it'd have a built in EBC in both wastegates if I'm understanding it correctly.

The EB110 had 610 - 650hp depending on what version it was. There was a 110 GT and a 110 SS. The new Veyron, as I'm sure everyone has heard, makes 1001hp and has a theoretical top speed of 250+ Then again, I would hope something with that much power would be able to go that fast. Should be interesting to see what it will actually do once production starts and some magazines get ahold of one. I can already see it........

Enzo vs. Carrera GT vs. Zonda vs. Koenigsegg vs. Veyron vs. S7 vs. Ford GT
.......Winner Take All!!!
