14. Mercedes SLR McLaren in 31.91 seconds!!!



you have to keep in mind that those times were taken from a list with a lot more of tested cars in it, the numbers in front of each car I named stands for the place they took in the list.

Lingenfelter Vette blows its gasket and 2 (or 3) sets of Baer brakes.

The Viper also did blow its gasket.

all other cars were fine
Seems like Ford cleaned house
