Thanx. BTW, give me your email address that you want so I can give you credit for the Dictionary (it's done). Or I could give you a redirecting PaganiZonda.com email address or a supercarstats.com one.

I saw that article. Looked at the awfull quality pictures. I was dissapointed though. I finally saw the Zonda in another magazine besides R&T and C&D, and the pictures were terrible. I didn't read the article though, (I now wish I did))

[Chris]

my email is: carnut16@hotmail.com

a paganizonda.com address would be cool, how about just plain carnut@paganizonda.com

[Adam]

The thing about a PaganiZonda email address is that it only redirects. By this I mean that people can send you stuff to paganizonda.com, but it redirects to your other email address. So if i send you something to carnut@paganizonda.com, you'll get it @ hotmail.

sounds good

Top gear liked the Pagani because it was a little bit faster (in their tests, others I've seen put the lambo on top), but they felt it handled better. They also liked the styling, especially inside, it was unique, nice when you for out 340000 british pounds (about $500000 american)
I will post quotes and such later.

[Adam]

done! send a message to carnut@paganizonda.com and it will redirect to carnut16@hotmail.com.

[Chris]

Great.

Now how do I get to the list of definitions.

[Adam]

huh?

[Chris]

The list of definitions that I wrote out, and you editied. Where can I see them??

[Lamborghini]

Wow, I'm surpised. Zonda is a cool car but I thought the Lamborghini would have won. I thought the Pagani only does about 180 mph. You say it's a little faster, how much faster? Was it all stock??

Yeah, I wanna see the details on the race once you have time.

[Chris]

Ill get them sometime soon, this week.
The Pagani is limited to 155mph, but you can now have the limiter removed. They estimated that the Pagani Zonda would go 200mph+.
Everything was stock.

[Adam]

Yes you can have the limiter removed. Yank it OUT!!!

No, I have no idea about that sorta thing. I just now it goes 200 + mph.

THis car has great stats, and not only that, it is supposed to be a joy to drive.

[redvalkrie]

Great styling great looks and some cohones to match, wow I'll be back I got to go to the bathroom j/k.

Nothing like that...the Zonda is a supercar, and although it uses the Mercedes V12 for the standard C12 version, there is NO speed limiter!
Seems kind of paradox anyway, to put a speed limiter in a supercar.

And yes, it does go quite fast, with about 330 kph (that's over 200mph) estimated for the C12S.

But the Zonda did not win against the Diablo, because it was the fastest, but because it was the better handling one. The Zonda not only shines with superb acceleration, it also has a ride that is yet unprecedented in this class, but still handles like a race car.

It is also much lighter than a Diable (about 600 pound) with aids its handling abilities...

yah, Pagani knew the customers would have an average age of about 50, so he made the car really liveable. Kinda nice to go crazy-fast but keep your kidneys intact!

About the speed limiter: It is VERY possible that no cars were delivered with the limiter, that they had them all removed. But otherwise, they would be limited.
