The first time was Zonda absolutely murdering the Murci and now the Zonda gettin beaten quite easialy by the XJ220, common

That race between the Murcielago and Zonda was a little off. Anyway, the Murcielago is about as quick as an F50 to 100mph(8 seconds). The F40 which is definitely slower than the XJ220 runs about 7.6 seconds. The Zonda runs a 7.4 or 7.5 to 100mph. The XJ220 seemed to get a good start and from there it really shouldn't have had any trouble keeping up or even pulling away.
It is still one of the quicker supercars out there. It could hit 217mph. That doesn't necessarily mean it is quick, but it does indicate it has the power to accelerate as quick as it did in that ep.
If you want any real indication the XJ220 did a 7:46 at Nurburgring. The Zonda does a 7:44. The Zonda brakes much better, has 10 year newer tires and better handling. The XJ220 must have made that time up on the straights.

i dont believe nururgring times mean anything like on such a long lap there are so many oppurtunities to gain tenths here and lose tenths there and impossible to put a perfect or near perfect lap in so that doesnt mean shit.
And ive looked all over the net and have found no 1/4 times under 11.7 for the xj220, and ive found the same numbers for F40 so the F40 i defenetely not slower then xj220 in 1/4, and the c12 s should be able to be on par with those 2
