This bad boy pulls strong up to 180 and appears to be stable over 200mph...nice!

i'd still take my friends twin turbo 427ci vette(lingenfelter) over this car.way to slow to get to top end.

Just think, its not as fast as Miss Geico, lol orrrrrr a ZR1 corvette.

[GO4BROKE]

201.5 mph, not bad! Wonder what it costs? Could probably buy 2 zr1's for the same money. But it won't pull the chicks the way a Ferrari will !

how you guys could try to compare a 599 to a corvette is beyond me. lol

Because it performs just as well and costs a fraction of the money.

The only place it doesn't measure up is the wow factor.

Yeah these guys went thru half a dozen transmissions last year (RPM in indy), think they are around 1000ish whp, 60 ft is normally around 2.0.

It looked like he may have let up a little for the long right sweeper!
