I dont think that has any major effect on the acceleration? The key is only needed when doing topspeed tests.

High speed key does make a difference on a Veyron, it would save up to 2 seconds I dare to say. Still 9ff is very very impressive, things they do with Porsches are very cool.

GT2 RS is a pure monster, probably the best car to enjoy here and the LFA time is simply LOL, I was never impressed with this car, but this is simply huge disappointment.

It does. From my understanding, the high speed key does not remove the limiter, it unleashes the full 1000+ HP. With the high speed key, the boost on the turbos is turned down, thus affecting acceleration.

I always read that the top speed key made the car as aerodynamically as possible but that the full 1000+ hp was available all the time no matter what driving mode the car is in. Is this true?

Let's all just sit back for a second and try to comprehend just how mindnumbingly quick 17,3 seconds is. Absurd.

Yes this is my understanding too.
The high speed key only lowers the car slightly and removes the speed limiter. I would be very surprised if it affects the engine output in any way.
