Doesn't MT test to 60mph instead of 100kph like everyone else? Wasn't that what was up with that 3.14 run the Enzo did?
Gah, I HATE 0-60! It is so useless. That time only really shows one thing, how good of traction you get when you dump the clutch! When will people learn, that if you want real performance stats, you look at ROLLING acceleration times, IE the 5-60 and the 60-100. That is where the real numbers are.
1. motor trend seems to be able to get the most out of the cars it test 2. no, this is acually usefull, having full boost before you launch is a huge advantage 3. yeah it depends on who is driving, but with a automatic transmission its easier to get a better/more consistent launch 4. that comparsion is irrelavent, the veryron is all wheel drive and it will destory the zonda in acceleration. my point about the turbo being all wheel drive is that all wheel drive cars generally post quicker 0-60 times. these factors are some of the factors that help the 977 turbo achieve such high acceleration.
You're clearly retarded, this isn't about racecars. And why are you comparing different classes of racecars? Yes Ferrari's F2004 is probably faster than any Porsche ever made but Porsche never made any Formula one cars (except for some engines).
Also wasn't it the same magazine that tested the automatic 997TT that did 0-100km/h in 3,4 seconds? Weird...because I've read that the automatic 997TT changes gears much faster and actually is faster, according to what Porsche claims.
Denigration-thread.... <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/sad.gif"></A> 1. 3.2s is funny 2. Why not "997TT beats CGT (or slr, or Zonda...)"?
Sorry I forgot... What means "quicker"? 0-60 mph = quick? and 0-100mph? 1/4 mile? 1 Km? Top speed? Enzo 355 Kph 997 310 Kph From zero to... a top model on the right seat!??!?! next time write something like this "997TT destroies Enzo at gas station, from 1/4 to 4/4 tank fuel!!"
hehe , so you`re a porsche addict huh ? porsche never made F1 cars beside some engines ? so you say ...... http://www.allf1.info/teams/porsche.php
I know there were in the 60's but I dont see those as real F1 cars, well they are but not like they are now and the last 30 years
latest test by ams says 0-60 km/h in 3.7 secs. >>> http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=0&fID=2&tID=90734
Precisely. It's not like you take off from a standing start more than once in an entire race..... Yes, maybe if you were driving to the local supermarket around the corner, but that just means you get to the next red light quicker than the guy next to you. Im rambling.
