How much would you pay to witness this race in person?

Shelby SuperCars Ultimate Aero

Capable of speeds in excess of up to 270 MPH, this monstrous 1,200 HP V8 is the product of American ingenuity and determination.

Bugatti Veyron

THE TRACK:

LE MANS CIRCUIT DE LA SARTHE - 5 LAPS

WHO WINS???

No I wouldn't. I have no interest in either car.

European cars take better turns. If they raced in a straight line, bet on the Americans.

I would not even go if I got a ticket for free, although im not a fan of racing.

You sure like cars!! (In feminine guy voice) It's so fabulous to have such a diverse loving culture here in our OT environment! All the cultures in a big salad bowl! Not melting pot... that's not right, because we have the right to keep our own cultures and religions! We should all snuggle!

Bugatti Veyron: Your sex goes from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds.

I know a bunch of people who would kill to watch this race. As for myself, I am not really that interested in cars.

I'd only go if someone paid me

Nothing. If I'm not driving, then why would I care to watch two cars go around a track?Dark__Link

Mr. Link, you obviously like cars.

Also obvious is that we have different appreciations and look for different things in automobiles.

But just have some hypothetical fun with me for a minute! You know you would love to see something like this IRL. Titling the the thread "how much would you pay" was just a catchy hook.

Soooo it's safe to say you're money is on the SSC Aero?

The problem with buying a car from Nissan is that it's a Japanese company owned by the French!

Nothing. I've seen races before and I know it's like "oh there they are...oh I can't see them now" Repeat a little bit later.Ace6301

True, this is how a lot of racing seems most of the time, but a race like this?

Imagine yourself sitting in the stands right on the finish line. There's only 2 cars on the track, and considering their generally similar stats, you can safely bet that they'll both be visible on the same Jumbo-display at any given moment.

I can visualize it now: a neck and neck battle that comes right down to the finish, both cars sprinting out of the last turn. It would be epic.

Zero dollars.

Watching a race between two cars would be pointless, because without drivers, they wouldn't go anywhere.

Nothing to do with nissan....

But I don't think enough people recognize the significance of a race like this.

These cars are literally the bleeding edge of the automobile industry,achievementsof mankind, technological marvels of engineering. Who wouldn't want to see them race each other on a famous track?

Probably the Aero would win because it has 200 more hp and looks like it's lighter.

People who don't give a flying **** about cars or racing?

No money. I have no interest in watching any race.

Lots of rednecks in this thread...

i will not pay for where i'm not interested in

I have $5 in my wallet at the moment, minus the price for a beer and that is what I would pay to watch

If I got to drive on of those cars maybe. Since I'm watching $0.75.

Nothing at all. The Ultimate Aero is un-godly ugly and the Bugatti is...well, it's heavy AND ugly. Top Gear already did this with the McLaren F1 v. Bugatti Veyron, anyway.

Hold the race on the version of that track with no chicanes on the long straight and I would, although I think the Veyron is over rated, it has the turning circle of a boat, by all accounts

I do not care for car racing so hopefully the ticket is cheap.

YYYYAAAYY lets snuggle!

Seriously, though, I'd pay maybe 5 bucks. I really dont care about fast cars.

Now, I would pay 20 bucks to watch this:

Drive over that:

To bad the ssc cannot do this...

the batmobile serves a higher purpose, far greater than simply going fast and looking good. The batmobile is a tool for good, not an accessory for the very rich.

And both of them would be lapped eventually by something with a V6 and a 100% better P/W ratio.

LMAO hell no man. Do you have any idea how fast these things are? And by the way these are ROAD CARS.... no Formula 1 or Prototypical designs. Manufactured vehicles. This is the real deal.

And especially on this course, you do realize that there is about 4 miles of straights? No amount of cornering "finesse" could make up for the vast spacial difference created by vehicles of this power. They are truly a class above it all.

Hyper-cars, for sure.

Mr Bojangles,

What the hell man. You are nuts.
