Look at the #'s on these cars:

Ferrari Enzo: 0-60 in 3.3s; 1/4- mile in 11.2 @ 136!!
Saleen S7: 0-60 in 3.3s; 1/4-mile in 11.6 @ 126!!
Murcielago (damn slowest!!): 0-60 in 3.8s; 1/4-mile in 12.6 @ 116.

Keep in mind that the CL55 (AMG) does the 1/4-mile in 12.6 @ 116 as well!!

Future entries:

Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG: 0-60 in 3.9 (that's a 4-seater!!)
Bugatti EB16.4 (16-cylinder 4-turbos!!) and 987hp... SHIT!!
Koenigsegg CC: 0-60 in like 3.2s...

DAMN!!!

Well.. okay, by 2005 there will be a CL Type-S running 10's
*wishing*

Scrib

Yeah, it's a great issue. I still can't get over the $732 oil change for the Enzo.

Ultimac

What are you talkin about 2005, mine runs 10 secs right now. Except I haven't made it as far (maybe 1/5 or 1/6 of a mile in 10 secs). Hah, but I can change my own oil.

DISRUPTV

allmotor,


this should make ur accomplishment w/the turbo even more gratifying, after viewing these numbers. For under $40k, you made a car that had style, luxury, speed, and fwd run 12s and prob even better if it wasn't for traction issues

torquey

Mclaren F1 still owns them in top speed! :pfawk: 250mph!

this is me

i spend two hours reading those magazine at barns and noble the other day. Great cars. Enzo!! SL500, S7, etc...

Red03TLinTex

I've read that the Enzo handles much better at top speeds, though.

EDIT: Too bad it's ass-ugly.

eclipse23

And I'd still take the Murcielago.

18anatak

if u can afford an enzo, u're not worried about a puny $732 oil change

darrinb

what does the enzo top out at??

Nashua_Night_Hawk

Can I change the oil for $732? Ah I mean I will do the oil change myself!

Nashua_Night_Hawk

$10,000 superbike will beat them all!

It is a brand new bike too!

zigzagzig

actually it's about 240.

zigzagzig

right about at 220

Collective27

Id take an enzo over a murcialogo any day of the week, i think the thing is realy hot, while the murcilago is just....so so....but thats just my opinion.

darrinb

i think i can take the enzo in the 1/4 mile

i just need a HUGE hole shot

allmotor_2000

I think even if we get an 1/8th mile handicap, we'd lose!

darrinb

well if he goes like 5.0 on the r/t time i'd get him on the hole shot

SilverCL225hp

The current auto industry is fulled of these crazy price and horsepower wars, let me just list the car with the highest horsepower output from each auto company:

Super expensive group:
Ferrari Enzo(~$650,000;650hp)
Porsche Carrera GT(~$400,000;612hp)
Lamborghini Murcielago($281,000;575hp)
Bentley GT Coupe($350,000;500hp)
Aston Martin V12 Vanquish($234,000;460hp)

Expensive group:
Dodge Viper SRT-10($79,900;500hp)
Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG($119,000;493hp)
Audi RS6($82,700;450hp)
Chevrolet Corvette Z06($51,300;405hp)
BMW M5($71,000;394hp)
Maserati Coupe($78,000;390hp)
Jaquar S-TYPE R($62,000;390hp)
Lotus Esprit V8 Coupe($90,800;350hp)
Acura NSX($89,000;290hp)

Affordable group:
Subaru Impreza WRX STI($30,000;300hp)
Nissan 350Z(~$30,000;287hp)
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution($29,000;271hp)
Mazda RX-8(~$27,000;247hp)

There are rumors about next BMW M5 of having V10 engine pumping out 500 plus horsepower so that should push it up the expensive group several spaces.....Subaru and Mitsubishi have done their best of providing us young people two excellent relatively affordable sport cars........If Nissan/Infiniti could come up with a 400+hp GTR that would motivate Honda/Acura to debut its next NSX better and earlier would it? Afterall a sport car with 290hp doesn't justify its $89,000 price right, no matter how sexy it still looks......Toyota/Lexus is really lacking a super high performace sport car, come on, Celica and SC430 are not that impressive, at least bring a new Supra here to compete against 350Z......

bkknight369

lol props for compiling the list

KCPreki11

Enzo for me...

The CL65 will be sick...

2K2SilverTL-S

My next door neighbor just got a candy red Murcialgo (he says there are only 3 of that color in the U.S). It is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Motivates me sooo much to work my ass off so I could afford one one day!!!

P.S. His "everyday" car in an F355 Spider F1!!

r10apple

Mmm...Spider!
I'm working my ass off to get to a $75,000 E55. I can pimp and haul ass at the same time...
Ah to dream...

CO-CL-S

I think the 917 long tail Sunoco did 0 to 100 back to 0 in under 6 seconds.

allmotor_2000

Damn... where do you live and why are you driving a CL?

ferizzo

Now thats what I'm talking about! I am gonna start saving for that sucker soon and use the TLS as part of the down payment for that baby! 12.4 @ 117mph!!! all that speed and lux for only 75k!

Nashua_Night_Hawk

This will beat them all:



It is a 300 WHP on the rear single wheel... Yeah Boosted Bike.. read the full story here: http://www.speeddemons.com/boost.phtml

Gilgamesh

Silver, you left out the Cobra, $35k for 390+ HP since it performs like it actually has more than that.

One gripe: VW makes the Bugatti Veyron, it will be produced and sold, wth 16 cylinders AND turbos, bit Caddy makes an N/A V16, as a concept for a car show, and they are called typical boorish American overkill by the media. Bullshit, I like how the GERMANS(!) can do no evil

Beltfed

I never understood comparing bikes to cars, completely two different things.


Also, I see above.....since when is the new Bentley GT going to cost $350k? I could have sworn the base price has been released (either was $149k or $160k).

r10apple

It's $350k after you drop your golded colored spinning Sprewell's, fuscia interiorisis and tv/dvdisis/Cristal...
<j/k>
I thought the new GT started at $190k?

bryanz3.0cl

good god that is sick. those guys are brave for even riding those things...what happened to the video of the 16-17 psi turbobusa?

2001CL

1SICKLEX

I am very pleased Saleen went head to head and is a very credible car against the typical Euro exotics. I think it has the best interior.

BlueCLS6

Hey I am working my ass off for this damn CL

Hey Allmotor, let me know if I can assist you in your 10sec quest. I can at least get you a sticker that says "Turbo by GARRETT"
