It's kinda obvious that those guys don't actually know anything about cars and essentially just listed everything in terms of one-dimensional performance specs. The SSC Ultimate Aero is not one half the car that the Veyron or even S7 is.

they are basing it purely on HP IMO.
look how you go down the line and the HP increases.

Well at least the list if from a credible source lol Im not suprised at all, the list is based on HP and the other factor is probably the idiot editors. I mean of course the STI would beat out the evo, because practically nobody (aside from enthusiasts) knows what the evo it. I cannot tell you how many times I have been asked what year my "subaru" was....

This begs the question: What makes a 'good' turbocharged car?

Is it the power it produces?
Is it the ratio of power it produces boosted to the power the same engine produces N/A? (We all know how slow a N/A 4G63 Evo would be )
etc. etc.
