That was an awesome test, I just got that issue about a week ago. Its amazing that a road car was able to beat all those racers...and even more amazing that a completely stock, road legal car came in second place in this test. The S7 TT is a freight train!

Nice article, thx for sharing it!! Some fantastic drag race cars in there. Too bad there's no SLR, CGT, Enzo or Koenigsegg CCR.
