I figured it would have more torque... And now that i think of it, it doesent have that much horsepower eather. Don't get me wrong, it's allot. But for a "super car" nothing special. I have seen trucks that 0-60 in about the same range.

Correct, but it's the weight, suspension and carbon fiber breaks which make it a supercar.
Another favorite of mine is the Mclaren Mercedes SLR. 5.4ltr engine, 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds, 617bhp. Top speed 207mph. Stunning looks too.

WHY?:
1183 hp
1094 lb-ft of torque
6.2 litre twin-turbo V8
257 MPH Max speed
That's its brake horsepower, not even 3/4 of that is useable.

It's a stunning vehicle. You did get the top speed wrong though, it's rumored to be 287mph, not yet proven.
Also, check this out, British TV show, Top Gear. Here's James May maxing out a Bugatti Veyron.

It's BHP is 1287Hp, about 25% of that is unuseable. But, it's still pretty high up there.
