Re: You won't believe this.... SL600 0-60 in 3.6
It doesn't happen very often, and they rarely admit it when it does, but the Car and Driver SL600 was a ringer. It had an ECU modified to create more boost than the stock car does from the factory. Bilal probably knows about this, he mentioned Renntech, which of course is a possible culprit since it was likely their loaner car that C/D tested.
Bottom line: The German mags have much more accurate times for both the SL600 and SL65, and they are worlds apart as you'd expect them to be.

Re: You won't believe this.... SL600 0-60 in 3.6
Hi guys,
in my experience performances in straight accelerations and drag races are hugely dependent on the driver ability to avoid wheel spin and to make a stunning start.
I've been witness of Ferrari Enzo track tests by a lot of magazines' pilots and i can say that there was a huge gap in between the performances found by each of the drivers.
Even in between the official Ferrari Enzo testers there is a big gap:
ex Dario Benuzzi(official Ferrari Production cars tester) was
able to achieve 0-62.5 mph in 3.8s.
Andrea Bertolini (new Maserati MCC tester and new Ferrari
F12004 co-tester) was able to achieve 0-62.5 mph in 3.3s
So take the numbers for what they really are.....numbers
