Holy crap, is this real? I must get hold of the Road & Track Magazine next month then.

Road & Track tried to answer which supercar will perform best in the standing mile with, technically, a super car drag race, first to hit the 0-200mph. Out came the six supercars - the Lamborghini Murciélago, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, the Ruf Rt 12, the Lingenfelter Corvette, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, Hennessey Venom 1000 Twin Turbo Viper.

Funny how the Merc and the Lambo sucked, not even reaching 200 mph. Now since we see the Bugatti Veyron in list, it’s pretty much natural that we expect it to come out on top. But no, this million-and-a-half-dollar beast was beaten by around-a-quarter-million-dollar souped-up Viper. Nasty. The Viper Venom hit 200 mph in just 20.3 seconds while the Veyron 16.4 clocked at 24.2 seconds.

Since Hennessey people are probably proud poppas, they’ve posted a video on their site, which fortunately is hosted via YouTube. Watch the video here:
