Default Competitor's 1/4 mile times

The August 2008 issue of Car and Driver had a ton of road test and 1/4 mile times. Some of the times were as expected, but there was one big surprise.

Car 0-60 1/4 time 1/4 mile trap Top speed

Corvette Z-06 3.8 11.9 124 198
Viper 3.4* 11.8* 126 * 180
Nissan GT-R 4.1 12.6 111 191
Porche 911 GT2 3.7 11.8* 121 206*
Jaguar XF 5.0 13.5 107 160
Bentley Brooklands 5.0 13.3 109 184
Mercedes SLG 3AMG 4.4 12.9 112 155
Infiniti G35 5.1 13.7 104 158
Mazda 6 6.3 14.8
Pontiac G8 7.0 15.4 92
BMG X6 5.9 14.6 95
Audi TTS 4.9 155
Maserati GT S 4.8 13.4 183

and the big surprise...

Hyundai Genesis 5.6 14.1 103 149

Imagine that, a 4,050 lb. 4-door 375 hp Korean luxury car with these times!

What was also interesting is that the supercharged Jaguar XF has the same times as the Challenger SRT with almost the exact specs. The Jaguar has the following:

4,215 lbs. weight
420 hp.
413 lb-ft torque
6,250 rpm
.87g handling
