That's how this post will start out. They did a VS battle between a bunch of supercars in the previous month's Road & Track magazine. Not sure off the top of my head but they had Porsche/Ruf, Ferrari, Lambo, Bugatti, Liegenfelder ZO6, Mercedes Mclaren SLR and the Viper TT. There were various tests including a time race to 200MPH where actually to my surprise only 4 of these cars were able to make it to 200MPH! The most insane thing was that the Viper made it to 200MPH in less than HALF the time than the majority of these cars except for the Bugatti!:eek2: It made it to 200MPH in around 24 seconds where the Bugatti did it in around 29/30. The Ruf and others did it in around mid 40 seconds. The crazy thing is the Bugatti won the race to 100MPH just edging the Viper but after that the Viper just hauled A$$ to 200; actually it kept going and hit around 250MPH if my memory serves me correct. The driver said he actually lost "visual acuity" for a split second during his launch (initial acceleration). He also mentioned that he spun the wheels in 4th at around 140MPH!!! Holy *****!!! To my surprise it actually handled very well around twisties as well compared to the others. What a car - unbelievable. Pick up this mag or look at this thing on the net. A pure beast! I think someone was saying it can run high 8's low 9's in the 1/4 mile! WOW!!!
