Let's discuss why we now have SPRINT Girls in fire suits instead of Trophy Queens in skimpy outfits - who used to kiss the race winner on the lips.

That was a looong time ago. Before the Sprint girls there was Miss Winston in her fire suit.

Gotta pass the off season somehow.
Say did you know, that really old people said they had to walk up hill to school both ways. How is that possible?
I've always assumed there used to be lots of massive earthquakes everyday.

Bug Veyron
About twice the HP of a ZR1 'Vette
Lets see Bugatti Veyron $1,300,000.00 , ZR1 Corvette $111,525.00. Okay according to my calculations it should be 11.65 times faster.
Or I could buy 11 ZR1's and take my girlfreind out partying about 4 times.

The school was halfway up a hill and all the oneway signs pointed to the top of the hill?
People followed rules back then, no matter how dumb the rules were.

Your girlfriend could be the navigator to let you know which way the Bug went
Not needed, due to the fact the Bugatti's tires only last a matter of minutes at it's top speed of 250mph I'd catch up and pass it pretty quickly in my 205mph ZR1 and keep on going. So she could sit there and look sexy

During the testing to set their record found that at 250mph Even those tires where only good for One Record run.
Look it up it's true just not talked about.

Seriously though one should never mention Corvette in the same sentence as Veyron. My bad.

If I had unlimited cash, I guess I would get an exotic that I would never be able to drive anywhere near it's potential. I guess I wouldn't even mind the $6,000 service every 500 miles when I beat on it. Pretty status symbol for sure.
You can beat on the Vette all day and just show up for your 3,000 mile oil change.

Used to be that you had to undo the motor mounts and lift the engine to change the spark plugs in a Vette. Not fun, nor cheap! But nowdays, the plugs are good for ever, so...
If you can afford the Veyron, who cares what a service costs

If the Veyron is so awesome, how come it's not in the top ten fastest cars at Nürburgring? Both the Corvette ZR1 and Z06 are on that list in STOCK form against many cars that are highly modified.
Maybe there isn't a Veyron owner willing to actuall USE the car in an agressive manner unless it is in a straight line? Just sayin'...

It's actually the world's fastest production car.
Hmmm...don't see any Vettes on this list...> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_cars
Not on this list either...> http://www.thesupercars.org/fastest-cars/fastest-cars-in-the-world-top-10-list/

That's straight line speed. YAWN. Ever heard of Bonneville? 70 year old cars with enough HP beat those speeds every year. So how come those SUPER cars haven't proven themselves at Nürburgring? A couple on your list did. One is slower than the Vette. The other one is a custom car, not a production car.
Just saying, I didn't see a Corvette on either list. Didn't see any Bonneville cars on it, either.
I doubt you would YAWN going 267 mph.

I guess you missed the 500 mile part. No matter what the car, it ain't any fun when it's in the shop.
The Veyron is a straight line speed monster, nothing more. Yawn. The Callaway sledgehammer Corvette was doing those speeds back in the 80's with half the cylinders.

I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
Actually I think I have also
I will as well, as soon as I get my all expense paid trip to Southern California.
Kyle's a puss.
Did I get it yet?
I guess you missed the income part
. If you can afford a Veyron, who gives a crap what it costs to service one. A lot of guys can buy a Corvette. Not many can afford a Veyron. I can drive my buddy's Z06 anytime I want or any one of his other 75 cars, but he doesn't have a Veyron. And I wouldn't buy a Corvette.

Veyron service - average 5 times per year, couple days per. Average $20,000 per visit, as long as nothing unusual is wrong.
I get the whole 'status symbol' crap though. I just don't buy into it.

I saw a dude yesterday sitting in traffic trying to enter the mall parking lot, who was driving a brand new Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (Black on Black) and I was thinking to myself, how appropriate to drive a 200 MPH car around a shopping center parking lot looking for a parking space!

I doubt he was dumb enough to park it at the mall. Just cruzin and showing off his status symbol. If the Veyron was was called the VW Veyron and cost $125,000, half these people wouldn't give it a second look. That's why VW designed the thing but doesn't put their badge on it.
Run what you can afford is the name of the game.
