Unless you've driven one, that statement is inconclusive.

However, Tiff and Jeremy Clarkson have driven it, and they do say that it's a well sorted car, even with spirited driving. But, seeing as I'm not them, I wouldn't be able to comment much further than that.

Considering the Veyron though, I'm sure that with all the R&D that went into it, it can handle itself quite nicely as opposed to just being "fast".
