So far we have seen the Bugatti Veyron vs stock somewhat lesser counterpart competitors. What happends when the Bugatti Veyon is going up against state of the art modified high performance vehicle? Check out this Mustang Saleen featuring 1000 bhp. This competitor means business, but yet the Veyron still dishes out the dinner. The Saleen gets a really go launch on the Veyron, but like always big Bugatti assumes control after first gear. Get ready to see the Veyron win again! Can this car be beat? We are still yet to see the Veyron vs fully modified Subaru Impreza or Mitsubishi Lancer WRC car. Hopefully someone will do it soons! Please!

It's pretty obvious that the Bugatti is going to win, or is it? Even against this highly respected, tuned, modified, and awesome performance Mustang Saleen it still obliterates competition. But by how much is what I find interesting.I'd like to see the Veyron out launch a fully modified STi or Evo. The same race, but against the vehicles denoted below.

Suggested affordable alternative to Bugatti Veyron:

The best bang for your buck in the quarter mile is not what you think. It's not the traditional high priced exotic. Take into consideration the all-wheel drive models offered by Subaru and Mitsubishi. Two sedans, the Lancer Evolution and Impreza WRX-STi can be heavily modified to win against the Veyron for a fraction of the cost by running a record setting 7 second quarter mile. Read more about modifying imports to get exotic speed. Let's take a look at the race footage and then comment below your thoughts.
