My question is: Why would you want something that fast in the first place? I mean, a car is a car; all it does is take you somewhere... I'm fine with a car that's no more than $500-600... just as long as it takes me where I want it to go.

DRIVER Ajay Soni looks gutted — after wrecking his older brother’s £830,000 Bugatti Veyron.
Onlookers said “gobsmacked” Ajay, 39, was unable to speak to cops for half an hour after tearing off the French supercar’s front.
Businessman brother Kumar, 41, whose empire includes a car body shop, is said to have “gone ballistic” when he turned up later.
The car spun three times at high speed in lashing rain near Kumar’s home in Shepperton, Surrey, wiping out an Astra and careering into a tree-lined bank.
Ajay faces a six-month wait to see if cops press charges of driving without due care and attention.
Simon Tarrant, who was in the Astra with his seven-months pregnant girlfriend Jenny Matthews, said they escaped unhurt. Simon, of Ashford, MIddlesex, added: “We are just grateful to be alive.”
Locals say the Bugatti — the world’s most expensive car — was seen zooming past the crash site before the accident.
Hours earlier, Ajay boasted to onlookers it was HIS car and even let people sit inside.
It is thought he ‘lost it’ while taking it for a spin on Sunday

You are all missing the point here.
All these sports car companies are spending millions and millions of dollars designing cars to go faster and a guy does it in his garage for a fraction of the cost and his kicks there arse hands down. Now that has got to be admired whether you like the car or not.

Oh Wow! That would be a fun car to take a ride in. That thing has more horse power than I would know what to do with. I will tell you, I love a good old muscle car. 
Thanks for sharing that.

Hmm... the idea is totally sickass. The power is powass. In the case of the Bugatti.... 
....
I'd prefer maybe a new minivan (LOL!!!!!) Just Kidding.... (or am i?)
Maybe a nice 1970 Chevy Impala SS 454. heh.. 3mpg i what im talking about.
Or a 2007 BMW M5.
No no, the Shelby Mustang Cobra GT with 512bhp and 500+ ft/lb of torque. oooh yeah.

the bugatti has 1001 HP and does 435KMPH
theres a top gear video floating around somewhere james may is driving!!! and yes it shows him doing 435KMPH on VW test track here in Germany.
I live in Germany and every day i drive to work which is 140KM away from home, it takes me less than 40 minutes to do the drive as the autobahn is speed free (in places)
i regualry drive at 100+MPH as do most germans, the fastest i have been is 302MPH, that was scarey.
100MPH is fast
120MPH is very fast
130MPH is super super fast,
the reaction time need between 10 - 20 miles per hour at that speed is untrue.

Nothing to brag about
Just because you go fast don't make it any better.. You have to be either really brave or really retarded to want to drive at speeds like that.
One wrong move and ya dead..
Wheres the coolness in that?
