Bugatti Veyron vs Pagani Zonda F

The Bugatti Veyron keeps dismantling competition like a butcher does cows. The truth behind this supercar, is that it simply can not be beaten; yet. However, there are some vehicles in the works with theoretical speeds exceeding 375 mph. (Read more here) However, for this drag race between a Pagani Zonda F and Bugatti Veyron the speeds will not be exceeding 250 mph. Sounds slow when compared to the Mosler above right? They Veyron wins this race, but it's about to meet it's maker very soon!

It's pretty obvious that the Bugatti is going to win, or is it? Racing against timeless classic produce Pagani and their Zonda F establishes a line in the sand for competition. Of course the Bugatti wins, 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.
