Great content, but absolutely lackluster presentation skills. I swear the guy is a zombie.

They mean three second club, right?
Didn't watch the videos, but 2.8, 2.9 seconds is three seconds. Not two.

It's sort of like drag cars that run an x.99 are in the "x's" I think 0-60 is kind of a dumb metric, regardless.

Yeah. They say "in the 2s" when you go 2.9999999999999999999.
Like guys at the track who call a 1'29" lap time "in the 20s".

A ten year old Suzuki GSXR-1000 will do 0-60 in under 3 seconds, and you can pick one of them up for around $2500.

Don't know how you can say that. Even with my 3rd grade education I know that 2 point anything is less than 3.
Watch the video.
Boy the Veyron sure is anticlimactic off the line. It makes you wonder what it's really capable of if the nanny didn't kick in so much.

I think in this case the nanny is probably producing the best result.

Well I know it's producing a better result than I could do, but there's so little wheelspin and even a little bogging off the line.

It is probably capable of four-wheel donuts and breaking things in very dramatic fashion.

At those performance levels shouldn't the tester be wearing a helmut? Just asking.
