If you end the race .00000015 seconds in, he would have only lost by like two cars.

No, it's you. The Koenigsegg looks like a purpose built street rocket.

Damn near 600hp difference, what did you expect? That's like racing an Aventador vs a Geo Metro.

Exactly. It really puts into perspective how fast the Koenigsegg is just by seeing how fast the 458 is as he gets on it on the drive back with the Koenigsegg cruising behind him. They should rearrange the video and have the drive back play first. Then you'll watch and say "Damn those 458's are fast"....and then you'll say "DAAAYYYYUMMM!"

I love Koenigsegg.
Their cars look good and different, and the performance speaks for itself......if there wasn't the price

Also, rwd.

I'm almost just as impressed with how quickly they were able to haul themselves down from whatever speeds they got to - my Camaro would be way off in the field somewhere (well, at least after I'd had about 10 minutes to catch back up).
