They test everything in that picture above to see which car makes it to the MILE the fastest. The Article can be read here:

Very good article, gives a chance to see how fast cars are still accelerating AFTER a 1/4 mile. Hope everyone is happy cause they included alot of brands in there, but then again, not everyone will be happy with the results.

FYI, the Hennessey Viper beat out the F1 car

The technical specs on everything can be found here:

Its an Adobe file and shows where each car was at the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full mile

LOL.. look at the 05 GT, looks like a bomb is about the be dropped on it.. what a sore thumb in the group of fast cars.. only 15lbs of boost.. what a POS.. my SRT can hold more HP on the stock Internals than that POS... VORTECH pfff



EDIT: haha it ranked 11th out of 13 thought it would be last.. guess the Jet came in last?
