Apparently it is very accurate and you can race the cars to see what comes out on top.
It also includes the Mclaren F1.

The GSXR is still the fastest even though it's simulating 10.5ish instead of 10 flat.

Without evidence of the little pink slip I'd be skeptical about claims of a 10 second car.

It takes a huge amount of power and then requires a transmission, axel, suspension and tyres that can put all that power down. On top of that you usually need to beef up the frame to stop it twisting under the strain of all that tourque.

All the above requires a lot of time and money so it's unlikely that a POS could manage it.

This table details the stock 1/4 mile times of a whole load of production cars: http://www.powerup.com.au/~slunk/400m.pdf

A some of those times are wrong... or different from tested vehicles...

Probably would have been alot easier to put <16 secs for all of them... looks like they have done it for alot...
