Performance

You can boil the Magnum down very succinctly:  It hauls your stuff, and it hauls ass.  The times below speak for themselves.  1/4 mile times were collected on a closed course with a professional driver.  Do not attempt .  

Tests were run with a calibrated Escort GT-2 (the unit also calibrates itself automatically at the start of each run).  ESP was left ON (no tire burning) and honestly I never looked down to see if it ever engaged.  All runs (they were done at two separate locations) involved a short burst of tire chirp at run inception.

Hmmm...
I wonder what my speeds would be with a better set of tires?
Specifically these

temperature: 63 degrees fahrenheit
1/4 mile Time / Speed: 14.57 seconds / 95.7 mph
0-60 mph: 6.17 seconds

Run #2
temperature: 63 degrees fahrenheit

1/4 mile Time / Speed: 14.42 seconds / 97.7 mph
0-60 mph: 6.03 seconds

Run #3
temperature: 48 degrees fahrenheit

1/4 mile Time / Speed: 14.40 seconds / 97.7 mph
0-60 mph: 6.02 seconds

Run #4
temperature: 48 degrees fahrenheit

1/4 mile Time / Speed: 14.33 seconds / 97.2 mph
0-60 mph: 5.87 seconds

Run #5
temperature: 59 degrees fahrenheit

1/4 mile Time / Speed: 14.22 seconds / 98.6 mph
0-60 mph: 5.80 seconds

Run #6
temperature: 59 degrees fahrenheit

1/4 mile Time / Speed: 14.28 seconds / 97.6 mph
0-60 mph: 5.77 seconds

Run #7
temperature: 59 degrees fahrenheit

1/4 mile Time / Speed: 14.50 seconds / 97.4 mph
0-60 mph: 6.10 seconds

Average of All Runs

1/4 mile Time / Speed: 14.39 seconds / 97.41 mph
0-60 mph: 5.97 seconds

Its amazing what you find laying around the internet.  This looks to be a video of a WOT run; possibly covering a 1/4 mile and possibly in a Magnum
