Road & Track Sept 05 acceleration data

Here's a really interesting test! The "flying mile" competition.
No RS6 included, but still interesting ;) There's a HPA Audi TT included.

The RUF CTR Yellowbird is SICK! This car was built in 1987 and is still one of the fastest around!

The test driver about the newer RUF R Turbo (Porsche 996 Turbo based):

"That car just pulled. It launches harder than any other street car I have ever driven. The torque is incredible. The traction is tremendous, and it's really fun to drive."

I have driven this car so I concur :D

don't know if the second one is a real one though.

It's a pitty that it isn't yellow though.

I am starting to develop TREMENDOUS respect for HPA Motorsports in Canada! ALL their stuff comes with a two year warranty and the performance is UNbelieveable!

Look at the TT. It is only 2/10s of a second behind the Ford GT in every time test (1/4, 1/2, 3/4 AND full mile!!!). In fact, it is only 2 seconds behind the Jaguar TRANSAM car in the FULL mile!!! And it posts a HIGHER speed in the full mile, so it is actually GAINING ground on the Ford! That is incredible!!!

In Car and Driver's last year tuner test, the HPA R32 placed 3rd and did extremely outstanding as well. Hats off to those guys!

Wow, I notice that even once these cars are already doing 100mph, the HPA TT is STILL just as quick as the Murcielago from 100-150mph! And not even ONE second behind the Ford GT! That is insane! :thumb:
