I hope they add all characteristics of the veyron like the bad handling and the 2.5 seconds to 60 and the right top speed. I don't want the bugatti to dominate all the others everywhere, it needs to have the flaws that would make the enzo beat it in the corners.

It's heavy, which makes it not too fast around the corners, as nimble as it is. The Zonda F roadsteer, Ascari A10, Gumpert Apollo and Caterham 7 are all faster than it around the TG test track, and they all have much less power, but are all 700kg+ lighter.

The Veyron is meant for a top speed thing, not really for corners as that was probably a second thing on the to-do-list when creating the car. But the Veyron can hold it's own for the weight it has to carry.

It lapped the top gear test track in a pretty good time, 1.18:3 It's ahead of the Enzo Ferrari, Maserati MC12 and Lamborghini Murciélago... yea, Bugatti handles terrible.

Didn't the Nissan GT-R time beat the Veyron's around the Top Gear track?

Calm down tiger, besides, Top Gear track is rather about handling, and that indicates that the Veyron has maybe quite good handling for it's weight, but compared to other supercars not that great and certainly worse than an Enzo (of course I only suppose now, I can not know)

It's capable of braking into and accelerating out of any corner faster than anything in the world (Autocar 0-100-0mph test). Its weight and 4WD keeps it stable during the corner, making it more predictable.
But since I haven't driven one, I shall refrain from making definitive statements about its handling...
It was the opinion of many watching it that the Veyron's timed lap was under conditions where the driver had been told to tone it down. It already had a slight battle scar on it from an on-track incident we never saw and it went through the tyres - typically the fastest part of the track - at a pace which seemed unremarkable considering the sheer accelerative effort of which the car is capable.
I wouldn't be in a hurry to take the TG Power Lap time as representative.

No, the GT-R was very fast but it was behind the Veyron which narrowly beat the Pagani Zonda Fand was quite a bit quicker (in lap time terms) than the Ferari Enzo.
You can see all the powerlap times on this wiki page.

I googled it and found out the Veyron's faster...nice...and expected from a car worth more than 3 houses here.

How ever we look at it I would have a guess that the Veyron a good handling car, of course it will never match Wesfield or a Radical but I would say that it is quite compariable to other big GT cars and certainly not bad for a 1000bhp car.
As for the TGTT, well there is not a huge difference between a Veyron and some of the other Supercars in terms of acceleration. Cetainly the advantage a Veyron has accelerating would never make up for it being an ill handling car if that was infact the case.
PS
With comparing Laptimes on TGTT we must remember that the cars are not on control tyres and times are taken in vastly different conditions etc.
