And what about that 0-60mph time ?? Is it enough for you ??
I hardly believe it can do that in just 3,3 sec. The LP640 has 4WD and does it in 3,4 sec, right ?? I think those 3,3 sec are a bit optimistic :roll:

Doesn't a F1 car develop over 5G in corners or something?

As amazing as that car is, I find it a bit ... dull. I am a HUGE fan of the 550 Maranello, and appreciate the 575M, but the 599 leaves me wanting.
I dunno why, any car that does the 'naught' to 60 run in 3.3 seconds should be dream car worthy in my book. Guess I'd hafta buy the Lambo LP640.

That's what they say in a Jonhy Walker advertisement on TV, I think.
But you can't even compare am F1 to this kind of cars 8)

I'm not sure if this is a valid argument but, on the 0.97 lateral g, road tests from R&T measured the same for the SLR and 0.99 for the Carrera GT. That doesn't seem bad. The 3.3 seconds from 0-60mph was achieved through the launch control and as many tests have proven, it is not optimistic. R&T and Motor Trend have even clocked in 3.2 seconds. If LC is switched-off, it can do it in around 3.5 secs, which is still pretty quick, considering Ferrari gave an estimate of 3.7secs.
And yes, F1 cars are beyond comparable to road cars 8)

Dumbest replica EVER on Jabbas. :fuck:
A Porsche Carrera GT by C&D stops in 145.
Versus 148 for Fiorano, that`s a different kind of beast, you troll.
The Fiorano can go very close to the level of performance of a CGT, yet the CGT doesn`t come even close to Fiorano`s multiple "personalities".
Also , Road and Track has even more impressive numbers:
Braking 60-0
599 - 109 ft vs CGT - 124 ft
Braking 80-0
599 - 186 vs CGT - 199
:alienflip:
