Wow the LP640 599 and SLR are very heavy.
More of GT cruisers to me.
F40 and F1 very nice numbers.

Ferrari's work at keeping the 599 GTB light weight really is damn impressive, especially as the SLR's body is made from carbon fibre and the 599 GTB's is made from aluminum.

LP 640 being 4000lbs that is way to much in my opinion.
Not even this superb 640bhp figure can make the car really move and supercars with up to 200hp less (996 GT2) can keep up or even beat it.
The F1 has the exact figures for bhp and torque but with more than 1000lbs lighter (1184) look what it can do.

Well actually the LP640 can out gun a 996 GT2 in a straight line, from 0-200 km/h in the LP640 takes 11.2 seconds and in the 2004 GT2 it takes 11.8 seconds. Now obviously that's not a huge difference but the LP640 remains ahead, when it comes to in-time acceleration the GT2 has a slight advantage.

On a track is where the LP640 will fair much better against a GT2, currently the 2004 model (483PS) runs around the Hockenheim in 1:11.6, the standard Murcielago 6.2 runs a 1:12.0.

Again, not a difference so I won't be surprised when the LP640 with more power, better brakes and a tighter suspension beats the GT2, and probably match the Zonda F. However the upcoming 997 GT2 will most likley beat both. Overall I think the new GT2 will beat the Murcielago, pretty easily, but i'll take the Murcielago anyday.
