0-200mph shootout
I couldn't believe it, but here are the results in the latest R&T:
6th place - Lambo Murcielago - 190.1mph in 50.1 seconds <---weak.
5th place - Mercedes SLR McLaren - 199.5mph in 47.2 seconds
4th place - Ruf Rt12 - 0 to 200mph in 35.5 seconds
3rd place - Lingenfelter Corvette - 0 to 200mph in 26.5 seconds <--supposedly had mechnical issues. should have been faster.
2nd place - Bugatti Veyron 16.4 - 0 to 200mph in 24.2 seconds
1st place - Hennessey Venom 1000 TT Viper - 0 to 200mph in 20.3 seconds <---Too bad John Hennessey is a crook.
They would only run up to 2 miles, so the 1st two cars couldn't hit 200mph within the 2 mile limit.

However, very impressive time for the Viper. I would have liked to see the Vette with better results.

I know it's stereotypical but I just found that hilarious
