I am sure the SLR won't be far of the CGT ... if its brake don't caught in fire Seriously, i guess a 0-125 mph in about 10.8 seconds and a 0-100 mph in 7.5 s so not far of the CGT. For the Nurburgring i guess on a 7:40 minutes time .... wait and see

I had a subscription to Sport Auto 2 years ago but i gave up too much work for me to understand what they were saying, in fact i had enough with the times and Lap times, but it was expensive for just times ...
BTW, do they have an official site ? I know the AMS site but not the Sport Auto

no, unfortunatly no off. site.....i´d stop the one from AMS, hand the money over to SA and they should run a site instead of AMS...

ok, now i´ve finished business, so some time left for JW...

so here´s the ( disappointing ) result:

unfortunately i´ve to add disappointing i definitely expected something more for the SLR...


NS: 7:52min
( CGT: <7:40min [ i´d say something around 7:30 ], Pagani Zonda S: 7:44min, MkI GT2: 7:46min, Lambo Murc.: 7:50min, GT3: 7:54min )

wtf, it´s only 2 sec faster than a GT3……a GT3 :shock:

HHR: 1:13,5min
( CGT: 1:08.6min , Zonda S: 1:11.8min, Lambo Murc.: 1:12min, GT3: 1:13.2min )

~ 5 seconds slower even on the small HHR course ( 2.6km )….sorry, but here only one or two seconds are quite a lot…

i know, i know we shouldn´t compare the CGT with the SLR, but test price of that car is 450k €+ and a GT3 outruns it…. yeah, yeah, i know, we can´t compare the GT3 with the SLR…

0-100kmh ( 0-62mph ): 3.9 sec
( CGT: 3.8sec [ again i´d say something around 3.5sec is more likely ), Zonda S and Porsche GT2: 3.8sec, Lambo Murc.: 3.9sec )

0-200kmh ( 0- 125mph ): 11.1sec
( CGT: 10.2sec [ it´ll do it in under 10sec ], Zonda S: 11.2sec, GT2: 12.4sec, Lambo Murc.: 12.8sec )

max g´s: 1.25g
(CGT: 1.35g, GT3RS: 1.4g, GT2: 1.35g, 550M 1.3g )

slalom 36m: 129kmh ( 80.12mph )
( CGT: 83.85mph )

evasive course 110m: 152kmh ( 94.40mph )
( CGT: 97.51mph )

braking ( warm ) 100-0kmh ( 62-0 mph ): 35m @ 11,0m/s²
( CGT: 34m @ 11,4m/s² )

so that´s some figures, i´ll try to translate the most important parts, hope i´ll have the time for it though…

...i´ll meet Horst v. Saurma at the end of this month and will ask him if there´s any chance that "he´ll get" an Enzo for the Supertest...

scan is on the way...

edit:

...ups forgot, just for the records:

air temp: 18°C
track temp: 35°C
air pressure: 1021mbar
all times measured with 2D-Datarecording ( no factory claims )

Hum, really disappointed Even more if you look at the time they posted in Top Gear, it litterally outpaced the Murcielago (i let the Zonda aside as it was tested by the first Stig which was ,as it seems, slower than the actual which improved the Murcielago time by something like 6 seconds) so i would have imagine it much more faster on the Ring.
