The Veyron is a straight beast:

In that world, cost is totally irrelevant. It falls into the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" end of the world. And, as much as I love Ford more and more, and even personally prefer the Agera R for overall style and personality to the Veyron, the Veyron is a seriously bad motherfucker. And who knows prices are falling on standard models. Why, I think you can get one for as little as $750k now. What's going to be more interesting is to see what the next Gen SSC can really do compared to the Bugatti.

Sure, 750k may be relatively cheap compared to its original purchase price, but the ubb mustang is something i could build, and could have a real good chance of affording.
Besides, you gotta hand it to the stang for romping the buggatti off the line, and man the way it sounded bouncing off the limiter makes my pants tight

Sure. But could you do it 50 times in a row, then hand the keys to grandma to to go grocery shopping? This is the mystical level the Veyron has hit. Astronomical speed, repeatability, reliability, and totally benign driving characteristics. To say nothing of total refinement in every category and exclusivity.

I dont care about grandma, im talking about what i want 
Reliability is also a meh, tires that only last 1000 miles isnt very reliable

I have no idea where you got the 1,000 mile life span from, but tires and brakes are consumables and have nothing to do with drive line reliability. Also a drag race is no where near as hard on an engine system as a sustained high speed run. Ask a bunch of Termi owners. . .

I thought the tires were only good for 1000 miles at a time , and far less if ever used at top speed
I'm not saying its not an absolute beast, but its also ugly, expensive, and unrealistic

Ok so i was slightly off, 2500 miles and $60000 and 37 miles if you run top speed, thats a huge reliability and safety risk if you want to push the car ever and you've already put 1000 miles on them, sure i'd love to have the money where when i shit i have rolls of $100 bills to wipe with but its still absolutely retarded

37 miles at a top speed of over 250mph in >4,000lb car = unbelievable engineering marvel.
The price is irrelevant at this level.
It's realistic . . . because they sold all of them at their asking price . . . . in reality.
You might be the only person on planet earth who thinks it's ugly.
