Drakan Performance Test Results from MotorTrend

We met with three of the Motor Trend staff to conduct testing on the Drakan Spyder at Auto Club Speedway.  Nate Martinez was a our point man along with Kim Reynolds and Chris Walton.  Kim and Chris conducted the dynamic testing which was done at the end of the drag strip and in a large parking lot.  The car was instrumented by the guys and run through the paces.  Here are the results:

I am pleased with the numbers as they are close to what we estimated/measured in our testing.  Having an independent company verify as well conduct additional tests helps us validate our beliefs.
