0 to 60 in 0.6 seconds.

6.0 lateral G forces.

1/4 mile in 2.6 seconds @ 197 mph.

305 mph top speed.

...and of course the manditory button that will send the car 20 ft. into the air.

This puts the Bugatti Veyron to shame!

I have a hard time believing all of this. But it was published by Road & Track!!!

0 to 60 in .6 seconds...that would take your head off! I guess anything is possible with 5 million dollars:shrug:

BS. That thing is no where near that fast in any way, shape, or form.

They came that car outruns TOP FUEL DRAGSTERS in the 1/4 mile!!!

Not to mention, 197mph in the 1/4 mile, but 2.6 seconds? BS again... 5-6 second cars are running well into the 200mph zone... 3-4 second dragsters 300mph if im not mistaken.

Complete BS in a hat.

Oh, and 6 lateral G's? LOL!!!!111

lol thats what i was going to say top fuel dragsters run it in mid 4s at like 330+. I dont think you can run the 1/4 in 2.6 seconds at only 197 unless you accelerated hard over 500 or something then shut it down half track and you coasted to a 2.6 at 197 lol. then maybe.
 
Exactly. Not quite april yet...

Look at the top of the article and you will see that it is from an april issue.:neat:



"This last part, and much of everything else, is a re-creation of what may happen in a Speed Racer episode and the upcoming movie. As for driving a real Mach 5, I'll just have to keep pretending.

Special thanks to Warner Bros. Studios for supplying the car; Yokohama Tire Co. for their support arranging the photo shoot; Willow Run Airport for renting us a hangar, and Polyphony Digital Inc. for creating a virtual simulation of the Mach 5 that we used for our performance tests. "
 
Oh damn magazine companies releasing the next months issue before its actually that month.


Well, they could have fooled some people a little better if their numbers were more accurate, lol.
 
wait...so you're telling movie cars aren't real and can't do all those jumps and stuff either :rlaugh: :lol:


:D


I knew that part was BS, as well as the rest of the stuff. I figured someone was getting fired in the editing room and wanted a good laugh before they went bye-bye. I didnt even think about April Fools, lol.
