0-100-0 Comparison Test

Nice, two Porsches on the top. They should have tested the Veyron, would probably have won, I mean 1001 HP is a lot, but getting it for testing is probably hard.

And they only managed a 4.3 sec 0-62 out of the Z06 when just about everybody else has managed to break 4 seconds, what a shock a german car won the german test. Where is the Ford GT, where is the Viper???

0-100 is not the same as 0-60. It is 62.137. Also, Europeans don't test their cars on drag strips.

opus, Viper is German now... like it or not...

When you buy a house, does the kitchen still belong to the old owner? no, it belongs to the new owner...

When Daimler-Benz bought Chrysler, Chrysler became German, along with the Viper...

@ Jovi

Ask anybody, it was a merger not acquisition. It is just that the Germans are pulling the strings, due to different reasons, like knowing how to make cars.

Torsten...

you can go ahead and continue to believe that its a "merger". Just like how Renault-Nissan is only an "alliance" right?

Get a clue buddy...

@ Jovi

It is not what I believe, but what the courts and shareholders have said.
I am not sure if you remember, but a couple of years ago, Chrysler shareholder were suing Mercedes for acquiring Chrysler, but making it look like a merger. That failed with the courts because it was a legitimate merger. The whole process has to go through the courts my friend and be approved.

You are being stupid, why do you want to tell me that it was not a merger when it was. Who are you trying to convince, me or the whole world. It is true that Mercedes is more in control, but who would you really trust to lead the new merger, a company with quality or a company that made American crap until the merger.

An Enzo & Veyron should have both been included in the comparison. The Veryon would have placed first with the Enzo in second.

MB as always , did great, Winner in 4 of 8 diferent categories. And Yes E63 is a more poweful engine than the M5. Some budy will say: But E63 is 6.3, but they will not see that the M5 is 5.0 but 10 cylinders; if you do the math both engines have 50 liters but E63 reach more power and torsion with less RPM . May be if you make cry the m5 at 9,000 or 10,000 rpm you will get the other 8 or 10 hp to beat the benz, wich is a little heavier. LOL
