Road Test from Germany

[Guibo]

By Sport Auto, I'm guessing. Comes by way of mafalda, on another forum.

Acceleration times are on par with US test results (faster than R&T, slower than C&D and MT), but the lap time at Hockenheim is on the slow side.

Top speed only 305??? The magic figure is 320.

I think that's abour right though, isn't it? Both C&D and R&T list a top speed of around 190 mph. (R&T's was only an estimate as far as I know.) FWIW, C&D listed the Gen II RT/10 at 177 mph.

FWIW, I’m quite suspicious that some of mags have tested the SRT-10 with the top down. Why, who knows but if tested this way an unnecessary addition drag of about 10% would take place on the vehicle - this could certainly have a measurable negative effect on high speed tests such as top end - not that 190mph is too bad.

Yeah, 190 mph in any ragtop has got to be pretty harrowing.


Here's another test from Germany:

Haven't translated it yet.

Notice the rear-exit exhausts in the gallery.
