    Q's turbo ran 12.1 @ 119.9
    GT3 ran 12.4 @ 116.?

    not bad for normal traffic light takeoff IMO

    wow, that F40 sounds like it has a rotary in it LOL

    yeah, european cars arent very good on the 1/4 mile, the MPH indicates they should be far quicker, but its hard to get it right.

    i wonder what my GT3 would do with 2 turbo's on it? hmmmm


    but to keep it on track, what does a 458 do down the quarter?
