oh, I am fully aware. It's why I was confused... maybe it's the fastest in the world street-ready GT-R? It sure looks the part.

Even Foxbody Mustangs are in the 6s. You'd probably never see one, even at the strip, but still. I didn't say it was slow.... for a "world record" setter, I expected it to be faster.

AWD is superior on street tires, but I learned a while ago from members on AZ actually, that RWD is king in drag.

Bulletproof car - Dumb way to find out if it works

Only logical thing to do would be to test Mercedes integrity to make sure the car can really stop a bullet. Matt Farah from "The Smoking Tire" was confident enough to stick Mercedes reputation in front of his personal safety. (M&P 9mm with hollow point bullets of unknown grain).

I guess i didn't realize the Agera was pushing that kind of hp. That makes sense then.

I watched Randy Pobst in the PirelliWC driving their S60.. it was a beast. I'm sure they'll do very well in the V8 Supercars Series.

Im sure if you stop trying to make the TL into what it isn't, you'll reach your goal much faster.

I watched the other cam.. it looks like a freak impact. I'm sure if any other part of the car absorbed the impact, he might have lived..
