6 vs 8

Anyone see the review on speed on the Lincoln MKS vs Maserati Quattroporte, Jaguar XF (supercharged?) Mercedes E550 and BMW 550i?
For those that have seen it...how?? How did the Lincoln come in 2nd??

It's called running a boosted car (turbocharged) against NA cars at 11,000 feet. Subtract 25%+ of the horsepower from the others and you can see how the Lincoln beat them.

I watched it after thinking Super Cars was going to be on.

The 550 won this weird comparo.

Not knocking the Lincoln, but going last on a test "track" does have it's advantages.

It came off a bit canned to me.
