August Road & Track . . .

What's Fast . . . 0-100-0 . . . What's Last

Grudge Match

Saleen S7 v Murcielago
911X50 Turbo v Viper
575M v SL55
RS6 v E55

I predict:

S7 - much lighter, great brakes
Viper - to much power, great brakes
575M/SL55 - this is going to be close
RS6 - AWD?/E55 - more torque - may be close

I can post results if you like or I can keep it on the hush if you want to buy the mag.

There is some other included info about current cars vs. older models in the 0-100-0 test. They also test an Enzo vs. a 94 ZX9 Ninja (should have used a 2003 GSXR-1000)

I don't even know why they compared the S7 to the Murcielago, considering the two are extremely different. The S7 is more to compete with the Enzo and cars like that, not the Murci. I like Road & Track but that was a stupid comparison, pretty much a no brainer who would win. Too bad the S7 still sucks and is built with shoddy American quality.

Well no one said not too post results so I wil say this, the Murcielago beat the S7 by the narrowest of margins. The S7 pulled ahead during the acceleration but it could not hand with the ABS of the Lambo. Lambo won by like 1 foot.

its pretty funny that its a no brainer, but the logical winner lost. GO MURCI!!!
the abs killed the non-abs of the saleen.
They explained why they compared each car.
They took the top car from each class

Exotic
Sports car
Luxury sports car
Grand Touring

(i think thats right)

the reason that the enzo was not there is cause they are hard to come by. There are no press review cars. They have to track down an owner. And since they had already tested one, obviously they didnt want to press thier luck by asking again.

They did however do a test for the enzo and it OWNED~!@#
I know this is a lambo thread, and I still want a murci more, but that car is nuts.
I can't get the results cause i read it at work. I dont have one here.
