As for the Veyron, it was never an option for the Bugatti to get a manual, they always decided on DSG right at the early stages and it was one of the reasons why the car took so long to reach production. The Veyron only puts 200hp to the front wheels in normal hard accelerations, that means there is 800+hp going through the rears. Would this small surge that BMW have engineered in cause the car to break traction, I somehow doubt that, but then again we will never know because to choose not to offer it now did they.

Foot, you really are clueless. Did you watch the M6 SMG III video above? That car can break loose (just a bit) all the way into 5th gear with "only" 500 hp. What can 800 do, along with some boost from those turbos? I know the answer and in lower gears it would coule be really ugly (or fun depending on the driver...)
