Wonder what happened to the Chart for the this:
1998: 996 vs 360 Modena
The normally aspirated 996 is demolished by the 360. The extra 200cc engine capacity seems to give the Ferrari nearly a second's advantage to 60mph and 14mph extra maximum speed.

Not a very good write-up. They only compare acceleration and nothing more. Also, they don't quote the source and have incorrect information. For example, since when does a 959 have 678 ft-lbs of torque? They even quote:
"Porsche’s 959 supercar had astounding performance to 60mph, courtesy of a fantastically high torque figure..."
"Porsche’s 959 supercar had astounding performance to 60mph, courtesy of a fantastically high torque figure..."

I'd love to see "Price New" as a column in their data, and I'd like to see them try to compare cars with more similar pricing... although its hard to option a Porsche to be close to any Ferarri dollars! Of course, that's the same song the Corvette owners sing when their Corvettes are compared to our Porsches!
