cool article. Something different!!

The Diablo VT6.0 is still on the second place :D wow, that says much!
The four wheel drive will have helped it probably, but still

The times of some of the cars make me wonder whether American mags are credible as in British mags they are always moderately slower...I've also read that in the Road and Track they achieved 3.9s to 60mph in a 997S..???

very informative article, plus the quickest they are measuring only at the 0-60 mph category that is why the 6.0 Diablo is there, as when it reaches 100 mph it is 1 second slower than the Carrera GT, still a nice car though

Interesting article, it says the enzo does the 1/4 mile in 10.8 :? Is that accurate?

Awesome to read that explanation of how works a fine piece of art.
I´m also agree, those 0-60 times are a bit overated.
