***Bugatti Veyron For Sale***
low miles, recently detailed, NEW INTERIOR
 
The spoiler pops up at 137mph.... Wonder how fast he was actually going?
 
i thought it was like the porsches wing.. when you get over a certain mph it comes out to create more down force
 
umm - from http://www.bugattipage.com/

when you hit 137 mph, the Bugatti hunkers down, lowering its normal ride height of 4.9 inches to 3.1 in front and 3.7 in the rear. At the same time a small spoiler deploys from the rear bodywork and a wing extends about a foot, perched at a six-degree angle. Two underbody flaps ahead of the front tires also open up. This configuration produces substantial downforce, about 330 pounds in front and 440 in the rear at 230 mph.
 
real bad case of ADD or something. I would imagine if you're going 140+ you would be wondering either if there is a cop ahead or damn I'm really going this fast I better pay attention. This guy was like "oh wow I can't believe how fast I'm....oohh a bird!"
 
I think the bird probably flew in front of him. I, too, would probably swerve and take my chances than eat a fucking pelican through the windshield at 140+mph. Those aren't small birds.
 
damn. i should've read this earlier. i prolly could have gone out there and seen it.

EDIT* the caption on the photo says it happened wednesday..... maybe i should look up mch towing...
 
I thought of posting this when I saw it on gixxer.com around 4AM but thought that I didnt want to deprive 95b16coupe the cheap thrill of doing it... and a few hours later.... ^_^
