Hiya! Meow! (='.'=)

Hey the results are printed in the Car and Driver magazine in the November issue! "10,000-HP Slugfest" is the headline!

SPOILER*










The 2004 Mallett Cadillac CTS-V won the Sedan Class
The 2004 Hennessey Venom Twin Turbo SRT-10 Viper won the Open Class

 

[///M-Spec]

It didn't win, but there is no way I can resist the Gallardo. If it was bone stock in that field, I'd still take that sucker home at the end of the day.

Gallardo

Gallardo and Hennessey Venom. I want both.

 

[Goomba]

I love (and voted) for the Cadillac CTS-V. I adore the look and power of the car. However, I give the Evolution major, major, major recognition for how cheap the car is and how it almost tumbled these big guys over.

 

[sUn]

Henessey Viper.

 

[I6-4-eva]

just only .2 seconds behind the first place 751hp Cadillac this car truly deserves the title Giant Killer

Haha! Coincidence or what! I just voted for the astonishing SL600 too. I want one! I want one! I want one!

 

[TwinTurboJay]

I voted for the r32, I would love to pull up beside vipers, vettes, porsches, or pretty much whatever and smoke them from the lights, man that would be cool !

 

[skip0110]

I voted for the Superformance Brock coupe, kit car. I need to go to the newsstand to pick up this issue today. I want pictures!

 

[Ev0]

As some have stated before, the Vishnu Evo is a true giant killer. Fastest 0-60 time of the entire field (no small feat considereing it's competition includes 800hp Vettes and Vipers). This car would be my dream track car because it is just so ridiculously fast, especially for such a low price. I'd love to completely own someone in a Ferrari while I'd be driving an Evo.

It's too bad that C&D didn't have more cars there. I would have loved to have seen an Impreza WRX STi there to challenge the Evo, and maybe they could have got a hopped up Skyline to participate. It's a shame nobody with an Enzo decided to take up C&D's invitation though, it would have been interesting to have seen how it would have stacked up against the field.

^ its true, the italians never show up for these shoot outs...the other thing missing in this years edition of the tuner shoot out was a porsche, in years before autothority showed up, two years ago a stage II autothority 911 came in second after the lingenfelter vette..

 

[ShobThaBob]

I have always loved the Lingenfelter Corvettes, and if money wasn't an issue, I would want one in a heartbeat. I could never see myself driving a Viper though. If I was buying something a bit more affordable...the Vishnu Evo was quite impressive....
