Watch a $1.5m sports car run springs against the world's best soccer player, "Ronaldo". It is amazing to see a human being actually keep up with this car. The Bugatti Veyron vs a human is a great idea. The video is pretty good too! Sponsored by Nike, Ronaldo uses Nike's finest cletes in soccer and when racing the Bugatti on foot. Maybe an off road rally car with spike race would be interesting.

Let's take a look at what counts.

1985 Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro

  • World's best soccer player
  • Plays wing
  • Portugal national soccer team
  • 21 soccer related awards

2008 Bugatti Veyron

  • 8.0 (7993cc)  W-16
  • 987hp / 920ft.lb
  • Top speed of 233mph
  • 64 valves
  • Four cam shafts
  • Four turbo chargers
  • 86mm x 86mm bore& stroke
  • 4486lb curb weight
  • Full time four wheel drive
  • Haldex Traction system
  • 10 radiators
  • 1/4 mile 10 sec @ 144mph
  • MSRP: $1,500,000.00 USD

It's pretty obvious that the Bugatti is going to win, or is it? But by how much is what I find interesting.I'd like to see him 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.
