In the August issue of Road And Track it`s an interesting test .

It's a shame that 90% of the cars were tuned cars. We all know tuned cars are fast - but the fun comes when comparing road cars . A good number to check out is the Hennessey 0-200mph time compared to the Murcielago 0-150mph time

I have the issue, but no scanner. If you can live with Digital Camera Scans (very readable) I can upload it.

I knew I should have waited another week to buy it. I figured it would show up soon on their site. Good read though. I was happy to see the Saleen tested and get some real numbers. The S7 always comes up in conversations as not being the real deal.
