Your worst nightmare...
Power to weight ratio is just too great. Koenigsegg rules, what a sex machine.

Good race.... I almost thought the SL65 was going to win because it took the lead early on, but a second later, the CCX made the SL65 look like it was standing still

I am not so sure about that.

I love these standing mile races. So much more entertaining than just going for a number at the end alone... really puts thing in perspective.

The Koenigsegg has 1080 HP. Deadly weapon is that it ONLY weights a hefty 2600 lbs ...Jesus that is nearly half the weight of the SL...

I found an unofficial "standing mile" speed of 307 kmh (190mph) for the Koenigsegg CCX at the Moscow Ulimited standing mile event that I believe was held earlier this year. This version had 880 hp according to the forum that listed it (6speedonline). I always thought the ccx had 806 HP.

This CCR has 806 hp. The Koenigsegg spun both first and second gear, listen at 1:15...

Also, the driver of the SL65 BS was instructed to make a jump start just to see how fast the CCX was going to overtake the SL65.
