If you can’t tell the difference between a mechanical pull handle, and a button, that’s kind of scary. It’s not like they were the same mechanism that acted differently behind the scenes.

Do you also think push start cars are dumb because you need to read the manual to know where to hold the key to start the car if the fob battery dies?

I do too, and I learn ALL SORTS of interesting tidbits. But I think you’d be mistaken in your estimate. Even in car circles, most people laugh at me when I tell them they should sit down and read the Owner’s Manual. “Psh. I know how a car works.”

Then 6 months later they’re saying things like, “HOLY SHIT. THERE IS A…

No. Because electric releases are cool. You don’t buy an XLR because you want a simple, basic, easy-to-operate vehicle. You buy one because you want a fancy, cool, futuristic, complicated car.

It isn’t the manufacturer’s fault if you don’t read the instructions.

It boggles my mind that there are people who buy cars with electrical release mechanisms for the doors, and don’t IMMEDIATELY do research to locate the mechanical fail-safe, which even the dumbest of common sense would tell you existed SOMEWHERE.

It boggles my mind even more that people refuse to read the manual for…

Yeah, but how many miles did it have before they rolled the odometer back?

Apparently not. Sorry :(

Just read the rest of our thread.

Yes, the point is extravagance and extreme engineering. Which brings me back to my original comment: a W16 is WAY better than a V8 for this role, regardless of the fact that you can get the same, or even more power from a V8.

Looking at a Bugatti from a “realistic standard” is about the stupidest fucking thing you can do. As with my previous example, that’s like looking at a $100,000 watch from a “realistic standard.” Neither of them make ANY degree of sense from a “realistic” perspective.

My original comment was directed towards people who…

The Koenigsegg is in the same class only in price, and competing for top speed. In every other way, they are vastly different vehicles with vastly different approaches.

So I’ll lump you in with all the other people who still don’t understand the Bugatti.

In b4 all the stupid comments from people who think that VW is stupid for going with a W-16, when a Koenigsegg makes the same amount of power from a V8. I’m so tired of all the hate from people who have no understanding of what this car is about, lol.

I honestly can't tell if you're intentionally trolling or not, lol. It's definitely 9.5!

Nope! It’s 9.5!!!

You suck at counting.

It’s even easier on my BRZ :P

I was just about to make this comment. The video itself even includes slow-motion... how hard is it to count to 10? Lol.

You can apparently drive electric cars with one pedal only. I wouldn’t recommend doing it all the time, because safety and everything, but it’s possible.

Yeah. It was definitely a very understeery vehicle (this was a ‘98.) I finally fixed that when I beefed up the sway bars... with the rear getting a larger bump so as to make the car more-or-less neutral.

I honestly cannot remember at this point as it was a long time ago, but they weren’t the factory tires as the car had 200,000 miles at that point. All I know is that those tires taught me the value of splurging on good tires for a car. *hugs Michelin Pilot Super Sports*
