Well, initially. Then the Bugatti driver finds out how to switch on the launch control...
Wide open throttle in a Bugatti Veyron is the second most distressingly humiliating experience you can have that doesn't involve medical staff. The first is not being able to find the launch control button when you're just about to drag race an R35 Nissan GT-R.
This poor chap, filmed at Palm Beach International Raceway, USA, experienced
both. In rapid succession.
Once he'd worked out how to drive it, he posted a 10.1-second run at 139mph
and hammered the Nissan.

So the GT-R has 10 less cylinders, costs a tenth of the Veyron's asking price and the quarter mile difference is just eight tenths of a second? I think the Nissan is the real winner here, especially when it comes to value for money.
