The STR had a sluggish automatic and shitty drag area, that's why it's slower. But it's a classic

those times seem a bit off, as the 0 to 100 MPH as 200 KPH is ~ 124 MPH times are significantly lower .. I cant imagine either car taking that long (5 seconds) to pickup ~ 30 KPH .. it just doesnt wash

30 kph above 100 mph (160 kph) can take long time because there is already high wind resistance.

And he did the math wrong. 160 to 200 is 40 kph.

ZePerfs NEVER recorded 18.9 0-200kph in their database for the Jag. Either way, they lost ALL credibility when they published (and YEARS later removed most of) my fake data.
