Hennessey Viper indirectly proves how stable the Veyron is from 0-200 mph compared to the rest. The Viper has made a serious compromise when attempting to go faster than the Veyron: the struggle to keep it on track (noticeable with the vibration of the body), its handling is still an issues as if the car is looking to kill the poor driver doing that test and the noticeable wheelspin.
