*insert standard 'you magazine bench racer' BS to posts against Veyron kill*
wanted to say I finally saw one on the road in real life. However I was walking in Miami, saw it coming up, and sounded awesome. He had a bumper sticker that said "I'd rather be in a GTI"
Well, I went stage II - ya know, that downpipe and just a new map/reflash that only deletes the CEL on my dash, and doesn't actually raise boost levels or adjust AFR/timing or anything (like other tunes/mods on turbo cars), and today I really pulled on the Bugatti and beat him on my way to the bank - through a school zone - and past a state trooper. It was truly amazing....
Really, I beat a Bugatti in my gti before also. Its a driver vs driver race, as the gti is a monster from the factory. I also beat a porsche 997 turbo, he beat me from a launch and then I just pulled on him. Clearly I'm a better driver then most with my dsg.

U should know that your O.Z ultraleggera are the main reason why u pulled the bugatti.
Every car is different but in general 100lbs= a .10 ET reduction, this forumla does not work for faster cars but is a good guidline for a street car.
As for wheels they can help quite a bit up to .3 in my experience. Now I gotta say this next part. Whatever gains you see from them on your little Gtech thingy should not be quoted as REAL WORLD gains, when you talking gains of less than .3 tenths there is no way of knowing if the gains were from better driving, weather, a tail wind etc. Please listen to people who have more experience than you do.
Stage 1, 2 or 3 has nothing to do with it. Get over it.
i've never seen a bugatti in Boston.. i think they would be smart enough NOT to bring a 2mil dollar car anywhere near New England roads.. Apparently the top 4 worst drivers in the country are New Jersey, Washington DC, New York, then Massachusetts
:thumbsup: for being number 4

I beg to differ, the gains are not minimal at all (with the 1.2 update), the car is FAST with stage 2, the pull in higher gears feels so good. Loudness, you only hear it when you floor it and catted and resonated is quite silent. Money, I got mine used for 200 and something. Smell? not with a cat.
That said, I sold my downpipe and went back to stage 1, only because of the wastegate sound that gets really amplified with aftermarket downpipes. I really miss that power, but I couldn't stand the rattle.
