Default Motortrend 599 test numbers

I saw this on the ferrarichat website, i cannot confirm the numbers but if so....holy shit!

0-60mph = 3.2
0-100mph - 7.1
1/4 mile = 11.3 @ ??

Those are some serious numbers!!

Motortrend january 07' numbers for the 599

I am not talking about the factory claims, but what motortrend have achieved.

wow that's amazing! hopefully Road and Track can get their hands on the 599 and test it. They clocked in 3.5secs for the F430 while ferrari claimed a 0-60 of 4secs.

3,2 sounds too optimistic IMO...
Nope it`s not, if he got 0-100 km/h in 3.5s 0-96 it`s possible in that time
Wanna bet that R&T and C&D will get similar numbers, if not better ?

Yeah i agree, car and driver + road and track are basically the same magazine. There performance numbers are always lower then everywhere else too.

Indeed, it is a heavy car! And so fast, amazing peace of engineering. What will the next ferrari be able to do, 0-60 mph in 2,5 sec? That are f1 times...
