An 03 S600 doesn't pull a 10.4 second 1/4 mile. According to wikipedia an Enzo will pull a 10.8! Beyond the 125mph the drag will limit the car but then again most races are from the stoplight not at 125mph plus......or are they.

Yes the Cd is much worse.....I think the point is that the Cummins motor is the gem not the platform in which it it resides. The bonus is outrunning or keeping up with cars that cost 10x more can be beat by a truck that burns fuel at $0.55 per gallon.
