..........Kleemann K4.
.......0-60by G-tech 4.0 secs. Remember all wheel drive, massive power. The car blasts off like a lucifer escaping from hell, but it gets bogged down later by poor aerodynamics. Best 1/4 mile time 12.7 secs. Here is a link to the 1/4 mile times.

.............I don't know. Mine is the only G55 on drag times. It feels lonely there. A little friendly competition will be fun. Only way to tell is to take yours to the track and get official et. The on G-tech is 4.0 sec 0-60 time is consistent with the 8.105sec at 1/8. I trust the track more than I trust G-tech though. Go test yours and report back.
