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

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.
