Battle between Z06, M5, M6, 430, Porsche 997 TT at Koenigsegg test track[merged/vid]
This is a teaser.
On September 23 some of the fastest sports cars got toghether at the Koenigsegg test track in the south of Sweden to find out who is the king of the hill. Big thanks to Gustav at M5board.com for arranging this great day. Also big thanks to Koenigsegg for letting us use their track and for letting us experience the Koenigsegg CCX and for the guided tour around the factory.
Here is a schedule of the cars taking part in the event:
I have promised Gustav who runs M5board.com not to post pictures or videos before him. So you'll just have to wait, but I think you all will be rather pleased with the outcome of this event.

Congaman, I was reading that the Z06 was only 1/2 car ahead than the F430?? Were they talking about the event with you in your car racing the F430? I would think that the Z06 would be about 2 cars ahead, not just half of car ahead.
Also,the race was from 30 mph. Were you in 1st or 2nd gear?

With the risk to sound like I'm making excuses I can tell you that I had a very, very bad start....my fault 100%.....I'll post a video ASAP so you can judge by your self......But make no mistake....the 430 is very fast.....

Anyway, I can understand if you messed up, that would make more sense.
Also, did you start in 1st or 2nd gear at 50 Km/h?
