Yeah, I actually have a F-250 with a V10 in it..its a 6.8L though, Ford does not make a 7.0L V10. It is pretty sad though because it only produces 310 hp.

The McLaren will always be the benchmark as far as supercars are concerned just because it was the first major car that broke every record and it has held on to that reputation for so long. And as for Porsche, Porsche has the most innovation out of any car made, and that must be a joke to put a viper before a Porsche in the $100,000 class, the viper may be faster but it also has an 8.0L V10, producing 500bhp and 500lb/ft of torque. I dont know which Porsche you were referring to but, the turbo and the regular 911 have a 3.6L Inline 6 cylinder engine...the dodge is nearly twice the size of the Porsche engine in comparison and as far as looks are concerned the Porsche looks ten times better, inside and out, of any viper available.

The porsche is my bad, i was always meaning the turbo, sorry 'bout that. I don't wanna sound like Mr Right, just please research all the facts... and about the italians... was just a coincidence. I`ve added a 250K and a 1MK, both Italians

Finally please, now:

Koenigsegg is replacing the Mclaren F1. It's the top level of supercar dynamics. The Koenigsegg CC boasts a power-to-weight ratio superior even to the McLaren F1.

:idea: :arrow:

McLaren F1:
Power............................................. ...........627 hp @ 7400 rpm
Torque............................................ .........479 lb-ft @ 5600 rpm
Acceleration : Quarter Mile.........................11.1 sec @ 138 mph
Top Speed .................................................. ....241 mph
Aerodynamic Drag Co-efficient ........................0.32 Cd
Lateral Acceleration Around 200 ft Skidpad .......0.86 G
Braking : 60-0 mph..........................................127 ft

Koenigsegg CC:
Power............................................. ...........655 hp @ 6800 rpm
Torque............................................ .........553 lb-ft @ 5000 rpm
Acceleration : Quarter Mile.........................10.8 sec @ 140 mph
Top Speed .................................................. ....245 mph (est)
Aerodynamic Drag Co-efficient ........................0.30 Cd
Lateral Acceleration Around 200 ft Skidpad .......1.15 G
Braking : 60-0 mph..........................................105 ft

Even with an estimated top speed, look at the other figures. As the macca went 240s, the CC could maybe do 250s. Enough Do I need to mention you can buy 2 CC for 1 F1?!

The 911s do NOT have an inline cylinder configuration buddy. they have a boxer or opposed cylinder configuration and I hate it when people think that the 911 and boxster use Vs and inline. and this goes out to alot of people not just DMbaseball1604

Dude, those figures are not right..
for starters if the CC boast a .30cd its not pulling a 1.15g, Its just not going to happen the only cars on the road that might do that are the Carrara GT and the Enzo but the enzo only pulls a 1.05 and the Carrara GT has no offical test results but is most likely to boast the best skidpad of all current production model super cars.

Here is another thing..
Lateral Acceleration Around 200 ft Skidpad .......0.86 G
Braking : 60-0 mph..........................................127 ft

My car pulls .89 (My old 1990 944 S2) and has a 60-0 of 125ft.. The new dodge viper does 60-0 in 99ft.
