they know the veyron has that 250+mph top speed, thats why this was a 200mph shootout. fastest to 200.

it had oversize wheels that do more for looks than performance by raising the car up slightly higher than normal

Yes, you could get a whole buch of Dodge's for one Bugatti. The price is kinda steep, but that's what you get for the fastest production car in the worlld.
As for the Murcielago, that is kind of dissapointing. The Murcielago is supposed to be Lambo's flagship big daddy supercar. Apparently, all cars involved hit 320k/hr except for the Lambo.

no, the mercedes didnt actually make the 200mph mark. it might have made the 320k/hr mark, but not the 200mph. (which was the main point of the road test)
look here for more accurate results and more info. about the cars.
