it all makes sense to me except the part where it says the car only does the quarter in 12.99 seconds. i'd think that something with 508 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque could go a little faster. vipers are about that fast, but they have less power and are a million pounds heavier. does this make sense to anybody?

Re: can this be for real? (pman81)

depends on gearing and when the power comes on in the powerband... since this is a twin turbo vr6 and not a naturally aspirated 8.0L v10... well... we can say that the power comes on a lot later after turbo lag...
edit: oh also, i don't think the viper is all that much heavier... the 4 mo sucks up power and adds weight...
