Yes, lousy 90* that was on the list for one of the ten best engines of the 20th century, not those 60* that put 3rd gens to shame against a stock civic, and early 4th gens. sure we have a slight vibration problem, but the HP and nitrous friendly block make up for that
Also, anybody seen the new SSC Ultimate Aero, that thing is HAWT! not like the last one that looked like a bad Diablo kit car copy. They just might have something there. It'll never gain the popularity of the Bugatti, but they seem to want that record.
And as far as the Bugatti hitting 268mph, it only took 70+ years to beat that record. german engineering FTW. (Yes I know VW owns Bugatti, and they use the W style motor, but Germans have owned the overall road record since prewar.)
