Newsflash: 380 hp, 4700 pound Ford Lightning is faster than 342 hp, 3450 pound CLK55!
At least that's what this guy says:
I'd think that a car with 10 pounds/hp and a five-speed would be faster than a truck with 12 pounds/hp, a four-speed auto, and the aerodynamics of a brick, but what do I know??
Some road tests for the Lightning:
Autoweek: 0-60: 6.04
1/4 mile: 14.51@97.9
Autoweek's test of the 380 horsepower Lightning
Car & Driver: 0-60: 5.2
1/4 mile: 13.8 (4/01, 380 HP version)
Motor Trend: 0-60: 6.20
1/4 mile: 14.51 (5/01, 380 HP version)
Motor Week: 0-60: 5.4
1/4 mile: 13.9@101 (4/01)
