I've got a vague recollection of clarkson, could have been tiff or a n other , reviewing the 996 turbo and one particular bit being 50-70 in 1second.

Have I dreamt this ?

The interesting bit for me was the comment that 'only 100 cars per year' would be coming to the UK - seems like all the moaning about the new GT4 is crocodile tears!.

Yes - Veyron is 2.3 seconds.

I'm sure I'm not though ! Not saying it's right more likely clarksonwsque exaggeration but am sure such a scene exists !
 
I can't remember which video it was, but it was 2nd gear, 40-60mph.

Yes it may have been tv review bs or I've forgotten the numbers but still want to find the vid where the presenter gets very excitable over such a timing.
