Bentley Hunaudieres (still not sure how to pronounce this)

W16 cylinder
8L
623 HP
335/30 20-inch custom tires back

And all the luxury expected of a bentley, which (inho) is the greatest car maker yet.

Bugatti is using the same volkswagen engine for their new car as well.. I like the looks of the Bentley better though.. Not like I will ever be able to afford one anyways.. Hmmm, two kiddneys, liver, and a lung.. Damn, still not enough money..

Volkswagen's new CEO has made public comment about entering Formula one. That W motor is supposed to be quite powerful.

Yea.. I heard the 623 was just a down tunned version.. I have been told that it can put out 1000+... Of course whether that is right or not I don't know...

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 12:10 pm: Edit

Anyone know the 0-60? I looked a few months ago (again) and couldn't find anything. My guess is 3 secs.

Someone once told me that a slow motorcycle (crotch rocket type)is still faster than the fastest car...well, not any more.

By Eric N (Grnrvr) on Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 03:47 pm: Edit

I think that hardest part about driving one of those cars would be to keep the tires from burning out every time you so much as got near the gas.. Oh, that and trying to judge what is around that bend in the beltway at 252mph.. Wouldn't have to worry about getting a ticket though.. Just don't stop.. They aren't going to chase after you at that speed.. Well unless they got a good plane..

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 03:50 pm: Edit

Yeah, even the fuckin helicopter couldn't catch you. (But a road block could!) But hey, if you could afford one of these, you could buy your way out of anything anyway.

By Bluegill (Bluegill) on Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 03:58 pm: Edit

fastest car still can't outrun a radio

that Bugatti is a little more than absurd. If it does 186mph in 14 seconds, it probably does a quarter mile in about 5 seconds at well over 100mph...and this ain't no garage-built drag racer.

By Eric N (Grnrvr) on Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 03:58 pm: Edit

Road block could but, it would be hard to do given the fact that they would have to get in front of you and hope that you don't turn off at the first exit ramp you come to.. 252 miles an hour is some distance over a 10 minute time span. I'm thinking they would just find out what kind of car it was and then come see you at home later..

By Bluegill (Bluegill) on Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 04:15 pm: Edit

252 mph = 4.2 miles per minute = 42 miles in 10 minutes!!! Damn. What's really key is the all-out acceleration. (How many roads can you sustain 252 mph on?)

A buddy of mine in grad school had a police scanner. One night we were sittin around and we heard, start to finish, the local cops chasing a crotch rocket. We were rollin on the floor listening to the cops screaming "He's headed west on I-90" "No, now he's headed east on I-90" "Aw shit, he exited again, now he's headed north on whatever" "No, he just flew by me at 120 mph headed west again on I-90" "Shit, he turned around in the median, now he's headed east again" They eventually gave up. Funny shit, man.

Had a state trooper tell me once that he was doing radar on 395 when a 911 and a vette went by him racing each other at 160.. He reset his gun and didn't even try to go after them.. He said that by the time he got turned around and started trying to catch up they would be long gone.. You could probably do 252 around here on some of the highways but, man, one pothole and you are a dead man.. Bet that thing would be air born hitting a dimple in the street at 250.. Fastest I have ever been was 170 or so for a couple seconds on a friends bike and I had to scrape the crapp out of my pants for hours after that..

By han on Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 08:58 pm: Edit

does that thing have airbags and 5 point seat belts? wonder what it looks like inside. imagine passing grey poupon all strapped up and doing 250.

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 09:19 pm: Edit

It has all the leather and trimming expected of a bentley (naturally)

By AL on Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 12:29 am: Edit

Top speed gets scary once you hit the mark. Regardless,RADIO is always faster.
1996 ZR1 179mph
1998 VIPER GTS 177mph
2001 Corvette 174mph
1999 ZX9R MUZZY 191mph
1987 Grand National 7.80 1/4 mile 155mph
1989 Mustang LX 10.10 1/4 mile at 139mph TS 166mph
1995 Formula 34'twin 454mag 79mph (Lake Michigan).
Have the tickets on some and remember the court days.
Thats why i purchased a DISCOII.

No, not a Millionaire. I was deprived of toys when i was a kid. Worked my tail off to pay for those toys and got it out of my system.

One of my dad's friends has this sweet 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo. He thought that it wasn't fast enough, so he sent it to RUF. They put a 580hp engine in it, triple plated racing clutch, GT2 front bumper, European spec suspension and a lot of other things. It has a top speed of 221mph. It will do 60 in 2.9sec with street tires! Damn nice car.

By Ali on Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 09:45 am: Edit

Hey Al,

I'm still waiting for a ride in your boat!

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 09:55 am: Edit

MA,

2.9 secs, man, thats smokin!
That beats the Chiller ride! If he's near NJ, I'd love a ride in that!

The dude who drives the car is one strange guy. He spends all of his money on cars and entertainment systems. This is the list of cars that he has had in the past 1.5 years:
1999 GMC Denali(500hp Stillen supercharged,sold)
2000 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG(sold, traded it in for an S500 which he sold 1 month later)
1999 Toyota Land Cruiser(still has this one,for his wife)
2000 BMW M-roadster(stock, sold 3 months later)
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 cab.(some modifications, sold 6 months later)
2000 Porsche Boxster S(with a 911 GEMBALA engine, sold last week)
2001 Porsche 911 Turbo(still has this one)
2000 Toyota Tundra(uses it to drive to work!)

He lives in TX. I think European Car magazine will have his Turbo as their cover story sometime. Sports Car magazine had his boxster as their cover a couple of months ago.

By AL on Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 05:44 pm: Edit

LoL, Your buddy is selling his Porsche on ebay, its the one on the Euro car magazine.

By Brian Jackson (Nerover) on Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 06:38 pm: Edit

Cars are quick and nimble if they are the Bugatti, but a crotch rocket will smoke anything on the road, especially the cops...power to weight ratio is what it's all about. I've got a ZX-9R bored to 1000cc that makes 160hp at the rear wheel. It will accelerate 0-60, faster than 3.0 seconds and with a sprocket change will do well over 200mph if that's your fancy...

Brian

By AL on Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 06:56 pm: Edit

Brian, mine was stock with MUZZY single sided swing arm and did the top speed at 191.
With what u did to yours, your looking at lest 220
with gears, all this accomplished in 5th gear and 6th still waiting. Must extend the frame at least 6" and steering dampner.

NICE BIKE send pictures if u can.

By Brian Jackson (Nerover) on Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 10:59 pm: Edit

AL, here's a few pics...
V&H full exhaust, rejetted, sprocket, bored to 1000cc, motorized lisence plate flip-up, etc...

By Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) on Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 11:03 pm: Edit

I was cruising down the turnpike at a leisurely 200mph, when this guy comes racing up, flashing his headlights, and passes me at about 230. So, I step on the gas, turn on the nitro, and he's gone again. The rest of my 12 second drive to work was pretty lame though
Yeah, sounds like my kinda commute.

By AL on Friday, November 16, 2001 - 09:09 am: Edit

Sweet Bike Brian,

The motorized plate flip is cool, the bike can do low 9'in 1/4 mile, bigger tire and extended swingarm can get you there saftly. Your bikes HP is probably more than the DISCO'S wheel HP.
Check out muzzys.com when you get a chance.

By Brian Jackson (Nerover) on Friday, November 16, 2001 - 09:37 am: Edit

Those pics were with my burn-out tire, a Metz 1.

I run D207s usually. I never really drag that bike, that's for flying down the road and wheelying past Harley and Buells. For the drag, I'd take this bike...it's a juiced Yamaha/Kirker FZ700 with a long-ass swing arm, and more rake than the Kawi...

i like the ducatti 748 just looks so good to me

By Brian Jackson (Nerover) on Friday, November 16, 2001 - 05:49 pm: Edit

How about my little 916? This thing whips, but iut ain't for the street and my Kawi kills it...

By Brian Jackson (Nerover) on Friday, November 16, 2001 - 07:23 pm: Edit

Phil,

You can tell it's a toy, right? I can barely ride the thing being over 6'. It'll flip up on you really easy though. Centrifugul clutch, 100cc 2-stroke single, with f/r disk breaks and racing slicks...

hehe
