Something wrong in that statement.
0-160mph in under 5 seconds. That puts us at least 7s for the 1/4.
Perhaps that should say 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds.
Then 12s makes more sense for the 1/4.

If it can do 0 to 160 in five seconds and it takes 12 seconds to run the quarter at 160, then what is going on for the last 7 seconds in the quarter after the car has hit 160???

It's the numbskull that did that write-up has no idea of the potential acceleration rates or 1/4 mile time.

Either this car is truly a weapon, and the trap speed and time is wrong, should be about 240 mph in the low 7s, or the real truth of his typing error is 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds, not 160 mph.

0-60 in 5 seconds is fast, not scary fast, but who owns a street registered car that does 160mph, MPH, 258km/hr in 5 seconds?
