i think the gear changes on the ferrari are a bit slow, but the punto does so well against it.

the scooby does quite well in all lol

 

How do you get the video to play.It never works for me.

 

sorry bud i deno, but im sure someone on ere will be able to tell u wer to down load the software

 

just noticed at the top of the page it says download video player. click on that AL

 

Agreed, poor gear changing

Testarossa Performance
0-60 mph 5.3 seconds.
1/4 Mile 13.3 seconds at 105 mph
Top Speed 185 mph | 297.7 km/h Similar top speeds

For a Punto not too shabby at all

Tell you what though it's amazing to think many of us now drive a car with a similar performance to what used to be on our walls as a kid

Wonder if I'll be driving an Enzo beating family car when I'm 70?

 

With the exception of top end of course

 

clarson made a good comparison on top gear a while ago, when they had the renault formula 1 car.

he said somethin about a race car 20 years ago was as fast as a modern half decent car now, so in 20 years we will all have cars as fast as a f1 car now

8-900bhp

well he said somethin like that lol

 

You cant really compare classic performance cars against modern (obviously with a couple of exceptions)..

Look at things like the old Jag E-Type, in its prime that was considered blistering performance, pathetic by todays standards.

 

Its not a comparison as such, basically the E-Type, like you say had 'blistering' performace in its day, but now, family cars can beat it... so in a few years time... we'll all drive current F1 beating cars... awesome !!

 

I doubt this reasoning will pan out the way you expect, i hope it does though

 

Interesting to see those Testarossa performance specs - last year I ran a 13.3@107 in my (front wheel drive of course) Clio at Santa Pod, although admittedly that was the fastest Clio in the country at the time. Was on road tyres though.

As far as the E-type goes, it might not be as fast as some family cars, but it's a damn sight better looking. You can turn up at the casino in Monte Carlo in a Golf R32 if you want LOL, I'll take the Jag.
