Message: <blockquote data-quote="FVel" data-source="post: 2632224" data-attributes="member: 48425">That's not completely accurate. When Bugatti designed the car, they mated two Audi V8 engines together and slapped in something like 4 turbos to get 1,000hp but even then they did not manage to reach their target topspeed of 400kph. They were short by something like 30kph and no longer having anymore room to make the engine more powerful they decided to play with the aerodynamics.As I understand it, at certain high speeds, the car body lowers itself and the spoiler folds away to present the minimum drag. But once cornering, braking (increased downforce) is required, the spoiler pops back up again.I still do not fully understand when the Veyron spoiler will deploy, but according to Clarkson the deceleration Gs from the spoiler braking alone is as much as maximum braking in a good car. When that is combined with the Veyron's ceramic brakes, the Gs can be brutal.</blockquote>

air flow sensor

My airflow sensor is fouled up yet again (remember the 2006 new year convoy?) after the "temporary" fix done at Cheras. The wireman told me it would be best to replace the airflow sensor once and for all.
