You know what else is nosebleed rare? Pyramids. There aren't that many, not even when you count up the third-world wannabes in South America (even though their biggest is more massive than the Pyramid of Cheops). And Hope Diamonds. And Paris Hiltons.

You can't take any of those anywhere. They're too high-maintenance, too high-profile, too too that there's no way to have one without making a scene. What if you want crazy fast without having every slackjawed dropout pointing at you and your pet pelican saying, "Dude, that's a Lamborghini." Who needs it? You want video of Paris playing Bobbing for Knobs with your bookshelf in the background making its internet debut, or would you rather have a few happy years of circus sex with a deliciously flexible but visually anonymous Cirque du Soleil reject?

Good choice IMO...........the ZR1 undoubtedly handles better, and is probably just as quick. Looks better too IMO.

It definitely looks better imho. Probably does handle better but not sure about the quicker part.

Both are sick cars. I'd love to have a Vette...the one with the carbon roof.

I'll pose another unthought of but plausible scenario. You outrun cops to your residence. Not saying you should but it can happen. Or someone in your neighborhood complains...Isnt it easier to use some plausible deniability and say ' well officer it wasny my corvette they saw', rather than 'well yes i do own a Veyron, but I've been home all day'

Advantage anonymity! Like my friend on the very visible LSU Tigers themed Busa, someone that sticks out usually gets to pay the ticket.

Very true and I had a lot of "fun" in my old 5.0 Vortech Supercharged Mustang several years back.

Vettes are a dime a dozen too...I know...but mine stands out a little which doesn't work in my favor when playing around...as you referenced.

The Bug is an overly hight-tech, finicky solution to a simple HP problem.

Americans have made cars just as fast, without ten radiators.
