Bugatti vs. McLaren

there haven't been any official tests on it yet, but i want to know what you guys think, will the Bugatti EB16-4 Veyron take out the McLaren F1 as the fastest car in the world? i think there's a good chance.

Bugatti- $1,000,000
8.0L W-16 engine
4 turbos
1001 bhp at 6000 rpm
992 lb.-ft. torque at 5500 rpm
curb weight: ?
7-speed clutchless paddle shift providing shifts of less than .2 seconds
mid-engine
AWD
252 mph top speed (claimed)
0-186 mph in < 14 seconds (claimed)

McLaren- $1,000,000
6.1L V-12 engine
627 bhp at 7400 rpm
479 lb.-ft. torque at 4000 rpm
curb weight: 2425 lb
6-speed manual tranny
mid-engine
RWD
242 mph top speed
0-60 3.4 seconds
1/4 mile 11.6 seconds @ 125.0 mph

i think the weight of the Bugatti will play a big part, with the McLaren being so light... so i guess we'll see. who do you think will be faster?
