For the record that slug of a car, the 1183 BHP Veyron Supersport, crawls to 60 MPH in 2.6 sec.....100 MPH in 5.0 secs.........and eventually hits 200 MPH some 22.2 secs after starting out.

Even a 2.2 Omega would give it a run for the money. ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Surely zero to 100 MPH in just 0.6 of a second would crush your internal organs.
