I have the tool but don’t have the balls...
Seriously, there are TT Vipers out there pushing 1200 – 1500 RWHP (1400 – 1760 HP) but aerodynamics will be a major factor in hitting 250 + mph.
The Veyron is by no means slow! It is one serious SuperCar. It is strange that it has 4 turbos, 16 Cylinders, & TEN yes 10 radiators.
Next week the company SSC is going to try to beat the Veryron's Top Speed. They will attempt to reach 273mph! This is using a C5R block if I am not mistake using twin turbos. I believe the test is due for Wed March, 21, 2007. I forget where it will be, but I will be looking for results later next week. It should be an awesome accomplishment for SSC if they can pull it off. I don't have any doubts!

Even if you had the balls, where would you be able to do a 250+ mph road test? The VW test track has a 5.5 mile straight away and I bet they needed just about all of it. The Bonneville Salt Flats is about the only place that I could think of, but that isn't really a road.
