Well, it's hell for fast!!!
I live in Las Vegas. There's more than a few V. rapid cars here being driven by not-so-rapid people; but I got to see something pretty slick this AM. I was on my BMW R1200RT bike in the fast lane of Hwy 215 when a Bentley Continental Speed pulled on an on-ramp with the throttle pushed up into the radiator. Lord love a duck but that car made some impressive sounds. I was creeping along at 75-80 and he blew by me like I was painted on the asphalt! He got small real fast!

I know that thing is powered by a W-16 with a whole gaggle of turbos, but I wasn't real prepared to have him Hoover by me so damn fast.

Wish I was either a good car thief, or rich!.

Supposedly, the Super Speed is good for 205 mph on a flat straight...

iirc, they are a 12-cylinder. The one EVO tested ran 204.5 on a radar gun.

"Only opinions."
Not sure I understand this comment. If a car's speed is clocked using a radar gun, then that is "only opinion"?

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

They are very nice to drive when you put your foot down. The acceleration is amazing.

They will go past everything except a gas station Big Grin
