Whether it is real or not (sorry Tommy...still no real confirmation), the bench racing opportunity was just too good to pass up.
Be that as it may, I'm reminded of the R8 spider and Porsche turbo cab (both awd..sort of a "damn near" launch control) matchup conducted by Jeremy and the Stig. They made a run, and then switched cars...the Stig won both times.
Seems to me that on any given day, a pretty good driver in the Italia will win if he's read the owner's manual and become acquainted with the launch control. On the other hand, a damn good driver in a high-average spec'd, big motored (460ci+) arruminum Cobra with at least Billboards (a common build) could do it on another day.
I'd feel better with a rolling start.
Hope we find out.
