Could The VEYRON Beat A NASCAR?
May be...
not in an extended race, the Veyron's lack of fuel efficiency would do it in, but in a straight drag race, could it beat one of the top cars in NASCAR, assuming it has a top notch driver? The Bugatti would beat a NASCAR but not an NHRA Veyron - 1001bhp - 4160lb
NASCAR - 770bhp - 3400lb
Veyron would win, on a strip, oval or road course no contest. With the bristol gears the cup car would get a close 2nd.But you dont take a cup car to a dragrace. A NASCAR race car is not designed to take off from a dead-stop like on a drag strip. That's why they don't try to do the sitting start at Indy, they'd probably destroy the drive train. I'm not too familiar with the Veyron, so I couldn't tell you what would happen if they tried to drag race.
Upon further investigation on Wikipedia, the Veyron is the superior car. The idea is not to put the answer in the question.
Could a NASCAR beat a veyron on a lap round the Nurburgring? The only place a Nascar Cup car shines is turning left. The Veyron will kill a Cup car in a straight line and on a road course. As far as fuel efficiency goes, a Cup car gets about 5 to 6 mpg on a good day, so that won't hamper the Veyron at all. Top speed on a Veyron is limited to around 250 or so. Fastest speed I've heard about is around 240 for a Cup car at Talladega, but I'm sure it can go faster with different gearing. As far as race cars go, a Cup car has some of the narrowest slick racing tires you can find in the top levels of motorsports. It might level the playing field a bit if the Cup car can be fitted with a better tire/rim combination and maybe a 6 speed gearbox.
As it stands right now, the Veyron wins.wireless sync pda
