Default Car & Driver 0-200MPH-0 Feb 08/08 Article

This weekend when I was at the local store saw the cover of Car & Drivers Feb 08/08 magazine, which shows the new ZR1.
It's a sneak preview of the ZR1, but after looking through it they had a contest 0-200MPH-0. I remember a couple years ago when they did this test 0-150MPH-0, show I bought it.
A total of five (5) cars were involved, this is what they did cost etc.,

2006 Lingenfelter Z06 Twin Turbo,
Cost with mods $288,540 & DNF (Did not finish)
1st run, driver screwed up, 2nd run there equipment did record info, 3rd run car was making unhealthy noises so they didnt do any other runs.
Apparently (whick I dont believe) driver missed a gear car revvd to 8878 and cracked a piston & valve.
C&D let them come back 4 weeks later and in 15 degrees cooler weather;
0-200MPH = 18.9 SEC
1/4mi = 11.3 SEC @ 147MPH
Stop = 1089ft
0-200MPH-0 = 27.0 SEC


2005 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo
Cost $598,950 (No mods stock car)
0-200MPH = 38.2 sec,
1/4mi 11.6 @ 138MPH
Stop 1147 ft
0-200MPH-0 = 49.6 SEC

2007 Heffner Lamborghini
Cost with mods $239,400
0-200MPH = 25.7 sec
1/4mi 11.3 @ 137MPH
Stop 1770ft
0-200MPH-0 = 37.6 SEC

2006 Hennessey Venom 1000 TWIN TURBO
Cost with mods $190,445
0-200MPH = 22.0 SEC
1/4mi = 11.1 @ 145MPH
Stop = 1127ft
0-200MPH-0 = 30.7 SEC

2006 Heffner FORD GT1000TT
Cost with mods $212,645
0-200MPH = 18.9 SEC
1/4mi = 10.6 SEC @ 152MPH
Stop = 1089ft
0-200MPH-0 = 26.5 SEC

Get this the Ford GT, stock crank, rods, pistons, (stock motor) clutch, transaxle, gear, stock brake calipers & pads.
I've heard of guys saying the motor can handle over 1000RWHP on the stock motor. I believe it now cause the GT above had 933RWHP or 1098bhp.

Amazing results by all cars.
