isn't the 100-0 mph time more like 4 seconds? 1.68secs seems a bit extreme to me, even motorcycles can't manage that, and they have less momentum. Unless of course, the barrier is providing external help lol.
the 100mph-0 time was recorded by Autocar magazine last year using GPS based test gear and a 2002 Jaguar F1 car. The driver at the time was Jag's test driver, Lotterer. 1.68 seconds is the correct time though. Seemingly incredible, but true.
