@VoodooV 5 grand? That's just the cost of the gpus! The whole rig came out at over 10k. And yeah, it's ridiculous, but it's meant to be. It's the Bugatti Veyron of gaming pcs, it's more about seeing what's possible than being actually useful.

@lucky760 I still play heaps of TF2 and it's still pretty popular. The CoD MW guys have moved on to whatever the latest CoD is.

@serosmeg, I played the beta. I have an old Amd quad core and a hd6950 gpu. Neither are close to top of the line these days and the game ran fine.

That didn't look like a Bugatti.

You know if I was really trying to decide between the Veyron and the F1, I think I'd have to take the Bugatti... and then I'd hire the Stig as my chauffeur so he could rocket me around the streets of Dubai while drinking my champagne smoothie and eating my Wagyu-truffle-caviar burger in the back.

Effectively a dupe of http://videosift.com/video/Top-Gear-Bugatti-Veyron-vs-McLaren-F1 - though that is now dead.

That's either a very heavily modified GTR or the dude in the Veyron is just taking it easy. Off the line, maybe the GTR launch control (although the Veyron has its own) and lower weight might give it a little advantage, but once they are over 100mph, 1000 hp will stomp on 480 hp. There would just be no contest.

Edit: More info at http://www.zercustoms.com/news/Switzer-Nissan-GT-R-vs-Bugatti-Veyron-Video.html :

"The Switzer Nissan GT-R is equipped with the tuner's P800 power pack which get Godzilla to a total output of 800 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque."

Even so, 200 hp is a pretty big deficit from a running start as in the second clip. I'm still skeptical.

Upvote for GTR. One day I'll own one....one day..

Also French/Italian?

I mean, yeah I guess 'Bugatti' is an italian make, and it was built in france/named after a french man but it was designed (and owned) by Volkswagen as I'm sure you know. Those Germans deserve a mention :>

I think this deserves some *actionpack and both cars are exercises/amazing feats of *engineering plus I think I heard some wolfmother so - *music.

Yes..but where is the fully remote controlled bugatti veyron mouse?

I wonder how much Pee Wee cost NBC to book; can't be as much as the Bugatti Veyron Mouse bit.

Bugatti is spelled wrong.
