Watching the gumpert vs Milan episode...WTF is up with these speeds? 60-130 in 11+ seconds??? 1mile was around 170?

Shouldn't these super cars run 60-130 in the 7 second range at least?

 

I thought the same thing... My car (GT-R) netted better times in my experience than the times listed in the show... But none of that really matters - because altitude, humidity, traction, and even inclines vary from show to show... What I do like about it, though, is that both cars are exposed to identical conditions on identical days, both driven by very competent drivers (I don't care what people say about Tanner, that man can drive a car).

 

What did the SRT10 hit in the mile? And the ZR1? 174.9 in the mile is very good. In Nevada I ran my bone stock SLR and hit 179 with a 10mph headwind.. high temps and some elevation also. In contrast stock Z06's could barely manage just over 160, and a modded 550rwhp Z06 hit 173.

 

I agree that these are good, but what about the 1000hp mustang and camaro...they also ran around 11 sec 60-130!!! although i think they did good in the mile around 180 i think, im assuming the first 2 or 3 gear werent getting to the ground....and the gumpert 60-130 in 11sec? that car has 700hp and weighs 2600lbs...my sc m3 ran in the 8s with 600hp and weighs 3700lbs...i dont get the math even when u take altitude and a bad run into the equation.

obviously both of them are great drivers...im just confused

 

I watched one of the episodes, and they were running the 1/4 - uphill.

Incline may also be a contributing factor.

good stuff I love to see these cars go at it =)

 

These cars run so slow from 60-130 because they are starting from a 60mph roll. For all of the fast times that have been posted on this site the drivers have begun acceleration before 60mph so the car is at full boost to begin the run.
