In everyone's defense on this though, my guess is that there is a whole lot left in DSE's test mule, it just needs sorting. I bet if you optimized the car overall for one performance benefit, it could do really well. Still, there doesn't appear to be "magic" in the setup even though the drama of comparitive numbers in the magazine would suggest it. Unless you know what other cars are capable of, it is hard to draw an absolute conclusion. Which, of course, is typical in competition for all of this stuff.

I don't think so.. most everyone uses the 420/70 deal except Motor Trend and such who uses 600 foot I think.. then again they are always testing modern cars.

The SC story even said it was 420 foot with 70 foot seperation.
