someone emailed me a link to the Road and Track shootout for supercars ripping up to 200MPH from a standing start, http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=31&article_id=5680
I’m pleased to see A. -the winner was a Mopar and
B. -disappointed to see that they didn’t have that Top Secret Skyline in there.
But what really amazed me was how slow those modern ‘super’ cars were to reach that speed, the old black wagon went 200MPH in 7.41 seconds over a quarter of a mile on street tires and through the mufflers- that was 10 years ago !
And I’ll bet the wheels and tires on the Bugatti cost more than the whole car did back then?
It’s a funny old world, so it is…
