SpeedyDTP247:
check this out! what a recovery at 200+ mph!

ken:
Wow. How much power do you need to do that?  Over 1000hp for sure, but that doesn't have all the Aero work the Veyron has.

SportquattroS1:
That wiggle was after the chute was out and that is not uncommon. There is a lot of drag once the chute is out so that is cussed by the buffeting in the chute,  not to say that it would be any less nerve racking. The danger zone for a wiggle is during a gear change and under acceleration. That is a great mph for a fairly boxy sedan I wish my old s6 could have had that kind of power

here's the reply from the owner "the engine now had around 1100 crankshaft horsepower as the car had dynoed out at 962 Wheel H.P. and 600 Pounds Feet Wheel Torque. That was at 32 pounds of boost pressure."   story found here

i figured that wiggle was caused by the chute but still impressive to keep it under control.

SportquattroS1:
I read the article and he says he had to much power when he deployed the chute was the cause,  and the combination of the drag of the chute  and the rear torsen diff caused the wiggle. Still not good and there have been lots of crashes at speed week while the chute is out on  the decell area.
