My fav Veyron video is the one where it breezes past a big sports bike even though the biker has the hammer down

This another impressive vid of the Veyron engine block being machined from a sold billet of alloy, as I doubt you'd get a casting strong enough to cope with power output it can produce.
YouTube - W16 Engine Block Machined From Solid Billet
I work on similar CNC machines to this at my engine plant. They're incredible at what they to do. You can make offsets as small as +/- 1 micron.
Crank grinding machines in our plant can be moved in tenths of microns.

. a well sorted ST would give it a run for it's money.

I have to pull you up on the "casting strong enough" part though. The Bugs engine "only" produces 125BHP per litre. There are thousands of modified roads cars that reliably exceed that.

Or course not. I'm saying that crashing at massive speeds will kill you. Speed isn't a killer. We can travel safely at supersonic speeds if we are wrapped in a little tin capusle.
Nice vid. Though I only counted 8 on one side and 6 on the other. At 6:00 definetly only 6. But at 7:03 it changes to 8

I don't think its full vid, I think it's been cut down a bit.

And that means what exactly?
How you've been taught about 'rate of revealment etc etc'. Being Police trained doesn't automatically turn you into a driving Deity.
I've seen plenty of vids where this country's so called 'fastest and safest' traffic cops have lost it in a big fashion.
What about the tool in Port Talbot, South Wales not so long ago, who on water logged motorway decided to take his Volvo up to speeds of 120mph before eventually aquaplaning off the road down an embankment.
Police training my ****. Counts for nothing in my opinion.

I was joking. If I was claiming to be a driving God then your 'opinion' would be valid. I love the way SN users jump on any copper that posts anything. Good job I don't care and have a thick skin or I'd be hurt
The training does count, though. My insurance is lower than it would be otherwise

Travelling at supersonic speeds can of course be perfectly safe, but you have to pick your place to do it. Travelling through LHR CTZ at low to medium height like that would be most unwise.
