When i first tried a 0-100 kph in my new 245 early last year, i counted 1 thousand, 2 thousand, 3 thousand and there it was, 100 kph!
No clutch dropping (didn't want tire slip), and a passenger just insures the car stays on the ground!
Oh, did i mention i had a passenger? LOL
Impressions?
Late last year, i went to the nurburgring and did a flying lap alone that seemed like it was 8" minutes flat! I was taking off at almost every jump and at one jump (plantzgarden or something) i just kept making the jump longuer and longuer just before the turn... Scary but ok, i was amazed at the speed and control...
Then comes my passenger and told him i'd drive cool (i was kind of wobbly after that long jump before the turn...) and we did our lap which my passenger firmly commented as not driven "cool" - but i know i drove cool!
Behold the DL1's times later that night... my flying lap was 8:30 and the lap with the passenger was 8:22! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
At least the car felt a lot more stable!
I wish journalists would do tests like these...
