Again - the point he made is that getting a car that took 12.8 seconds to hit 200 kph (to use your magazine clipping) to hit the same mph in 2.9 seconds less time requires lots more power. That was his point.

And as I said previously, lest I be misquoted or have what I said taken out of context, I don't believe RS Kicker was saying that RussRamz car was capable of going from zero to 124 mph in 10.X seconds. So it is academic.

enzom is right, you missed the point...and there's no use debating a point that was no one was trying to make in the first place.
