The M3 gets to 60 in 3.9. The slowest time starts at 3.7. The M3 didn't make the list.

Hopefully C63 very soon
Anyone know the difference in quarter mile for the c63 coupe vs sedan not based on MB estimates but real-time testing by other sources?

Hmmm, probably "7 twin clutch" transmission. If it was a pre 2012 model I'd say it stood for torque converter.

And they didnt even test the Turbo S--- it would have been #1 in the 0-60 test.

Car and driver tested one to 0-60 in 2.7 and 1/4mi in 10.8@129!

Just insane.

Anyone else find it crazy the "regular" S 911 is 11 second capable out of the box? Hell that will run with kleemann supercharged m113s.

That is kind of expected with nearly 600hp coming out of a twin turbo V8. The the CLS63 is the cream of the crop for that model, the S is just one step up from the base. Granted they cost about the same. Don't take this wrong, I still find the CLS63 sick. Just tune numbers are very enticing.

An N/A flat 6 with only 3.8L making 400hp and able to run 11's. Very impressive. Can't wait to see what the GTS version does, let alone the new turbo and GTx models.
