The 0-60 Time is bullshit. 3.1sec, yeah right.

Nice to see it got some reaction!

Never been a big corvette fan. That one looked half decent though. But then again I never liked the look of the Mac F1...

I think the car looks nice but 3,13 sec with a 435hp car... don't think so. Don't really thrust the times from those guys from Motortrend.

They also claimed that the Murciélago could do a 3,1 sec 0-60 time = impossible. The constructor said 3.85 for 0-62mph so how can they do it 0,6 sec faster = bullshit. Anyway, bought a magazine today and they tested the Murciélago too and did a 5.3 sec time for the 0-62mph. The reviewer said it certainly is possible to do a faster time BUT if the clutch of the lambo easily burns in such an attempt .

sportVeloce: you don't like the look of the Mac F1... along to me that's one of the nicest looking cars ever and that for a car that's more then 10 years old. The only thing I dislike about its look are the rimms, nothing special. Should fit some nice Ferrari Style rimms to it.

im not sure how fast the Mosler is but at 1900 lbs and 435hp thats a little over 4 lbs per horsepower, thats extremely light, so either way it should be fast.

i have never paid much attention to 0-60 times simply because there are so many factors that can change it. temperature outside, humidity, elevation, road condition, size of driver to name a few. its a good way to place certain cars in different catagories, but the times are gonna change slightly with each and every car and driver.

case in point, this months Sport Compact Car posted a 5.3 0-60 in a WRX (not STi, WRX) and they got a EVO to go 0-60 in 5.4 during the same test at the same location, etc. 0-60 times arent too reliable IMO

c'mon beaver, behave yourself, you know how ugly it can get if those arrogant corvette lovers found out
