Did they do the test themselves or did they go by marketing numbers?

Howdy!

I'd like to know what their definition of production car is - some references say over 100 produced (per year), but like several racing clubs, including some SCCA cite over 500 units!

I think either of these numbers might remove the Bugatti and McLaren from the list. I think a more interesting top ten would be defining production at something a little higher, or at least call that list the Top Ten fastest **produced** vehicles :cheers:

produced being, cars you won't see and can't buy :D

Those cars that they tested met the only requirement of costing 85,000+.

It's actually 1000 units for SCCA consideration. Hence why cars like the Porsche GT2 and Ferrari 360 Modena are not eligible for stock class.

But, that list is a farce. Calling a McLaren F1 a "production car" is a joke. How many of those things were produced worldwide? Oh wait ... quick google search .... wow, a whopping 64 units from '93 to '98. Production car ... riiiiigghht. :rolleyes:

as well as the ford gt never did a 3.3 0-60. Lets see the ford gt vs the viper srt-10 in motor trend in the quarter mile and almost the whole track was a dead heat. so the whole list stinks. i would deffinately replace 2-3 cars on the list. gt-2 and lambo may be in question as well.. instead they should have the zo6 adn the 911 turbo... now that i did more research on it lambo out ,enzo out, f50 out with the others mentioned above..

just my .02

i could be wrong about this but i heard they added 50hp to the Ford GT since early production and hp is now at a 550 and performance #s are better as well. anyone know :confused:

Who cares about 0-60 mph anyway? A more fitting straight line test for cars of this caliber would be the 1/4 mile and beyond. :smash:
