80LS1T Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 You gotta love #10..... Bentley Continental R MullinerTop speed: 170-plus mph Engine: 6.75 liter V-8, 420-hp Price: $318,990 At nearly 6,000 lbs., the beefy Bentley Continental weighs as much as most full-sized SUVs. But with more torque than any available passenger car, it simply bullies its way into the 170-mph club. 6000lbs @170MPH! Holy Crap! Can you imagine say hitting a deer at 170MPH with a 6000lbs car!

john kosmatka Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 You better hope that thing has some pretty good brakes on that thing, gotta have some pretty good ones to stop a 3 ton car from 170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 LOL... what deer? 3 tons... 170mph... in a bentley? wow... that thing is cool! Maserati Cambiocorsa Top speed: 180-plus mph Engine: 4.2 liter V-8, 390-hp Price: $90,865 In 1977 Joe Walsh sang, "My Maserati does 185... I lost my license, now I don't drive." Truer words were never sung. That song is great! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I _love_ this quote about the Porsche 911 GT2: No traction control, no all-wheel drive. Just 436-hp and you. :flamedevil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do. They have TWO, 4 piston calipers per wheel up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 6000lbs @170MPH! Holy Crap! Can you imagine say hitting a deer at 170MPH with a 6000lbs car! I think the deer would simply explode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
