oneshot 149 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 That's an incredibly enthusiastic report of the S350! Apparently the first Autocar test was 0-60 in 4.7s and 0-100 in 10.7 but this was done on a streaming wet track. Autocar then tested an S350 again and recorded 0-60 in 3.9s and 0-100 in 9.8s this time on a dry track. Remember these are not manufacturer's figures but independent actual measured figures. I cannot verify the authenticity of the figures but they are quoted in Jeremy Walton's book and presumably he has done the research. Quote Dave - 2000 Sport 350 Link to post Share on other sites
mangel 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Everyone be calm and step back from the book shelf!! A car is only as fast as the man is good (mechanically unsympathetic) who is driving it. Chances of a achieving a perfect launch without launch control or being a pro are hit and miss at best (more miss in my case) Basically both the sport 350 and the diablo are fantastic cars and this was a congrats on your new car thread not a howfasthowbighownoisyhowhandlyhowmuch thread.

superdavelotus 123 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Nice car Fishy! Congratulations! Have you found anyone to service it yet locally? Are you going to be using main dealer or independant? Iam curious as it's something I've been looking at for the future. I thought the 3.9 0-60 time is for the 6.0 version?
