Not much difference between the Enzo and Fiorano ... 8)

Thanks for the scans.

Porky's sprint to 300 in 18+secs is amazing - wondered what it would have done if it was built as a proper (read lighter) sportscar and not like GT But then again it may not be much faster - you may be reaching the limits of tire grip then

That was one of the main design issues, the tires !

Amazing figures for the veyron, although not as quick as they projected it to be. I remeber reading few years back that they estimate the 0-300 to be 14sec! But still, 18 sec is a mighty achievement. Wonder how fast a F1 racing car takes to go from 0-300, 10-15 sec?

I heard F1 racers go from 0-200-0 in 10 sec...

thank you for the scan.
Looks like SLR is getting old, only 324 this year. They should test the 722

thanks; that's awesome...one question - how come koeniggsegg never shows up to these tests?? with the 806hp ccx they shouldn't need to worry about anyone save the veyron.

I wish i could answer that I would have really liked to see Koenigsegg as well as Pagani with the Zonda F. We may have to wait for Sport Auto to do a top speed test on these vehicles, it was Sport Auto which tested the Zonda S' top speed!

Does the 0-300 time for the Z06 look right? I've only ever seen numbers up to 150 MPH for it, so I don't know. It seems a little slower than what I think it can do.

Yep, i also think they filmed it as they did in previous years. Canīt wait to see the Veyrons top speed run It can take a while until its aired though. Maby even next year...
