Now for input from the Nov. issue of Motor Trend. Another free magazine I
get at work.

They tested 9 "super" cars(quotes mine), although there was no top speed
test they did do a standing start mile like Maxon. Results are:

Shelby Series 1 (supercharged prototype)       164.76
Viper ACR                                                     164.55
Porsche 911 Turbo                                         161.58
Corvette Z06                                                  160.73
BMW Z8                                                        152,55
Ferrari 360 Modena                                        152.47
Cobra R                                                          149.50
Trans Am Firehawk(not the tires)                     145.78
Qvale Mangusta (?)                                          130.98

Ok, now run this one through the mill.
