That's what they said. I could be wrong on the numbers a little like I stated above, but I know it was unbelievable. The numbers they were throwing around more like a fighter jet then a car. Anyone remember years ago when they raced a fighter jet on a catapult launch system and a top fuel dragster side by side? TV??? What can they think up?
BTW They showed the Ferrari going buy the bug and the bug taking off on the show. It's f'in amazing. Nobody else saw this show? I can't remember but I think it was on speed 2 months ago.

I guess anyone that can design, build, and charge $1,700,000.00 for a 4300 pound super car would not have a problem with a small thing like false advertising.
The last generation could not even make 1 lap, remember?
That car would need 1500hp to even be on the ballpark with a bone stock 14.
That pig would barely out accelerate an F 40 in the 1/4 mile.
The F40 with a 1500 pound weight advantage would probably outbrake it.
An F40 could not beat a stock 600 in the 1/4 mile.

I bought the mag and looked at the GSX-R's numbers which was ridden by Jamie Whitham ex-world supersport racer who is obviously no slouch when it comes to riding.
The bike did a 5.6 second (vs 5.5 for the Bug) run to 100 mph and stopped in 5.10 seconds (vs 4.2 for the car) which was slower than the slowest stopping car in the group @ 4.63 secs (an Vauxhall/Opel Astra VXR Sprint, a 285 HP front wheel drive car!)
