0-60 Tune time
Does anyone have any real data on what a tuned GT car is doing 0-60 on the street?
I can see what is said about HP and TQ. But what is the difference in a 0-60 and 1/4 mile????

Is 0-60 the real measure of a sports car? Or, more specifically, a sports car meant to drive on public streets?
My e-tron GT, which weighs 1500 lbs more than my AMG GT, has an identical 0-60 time. Although the Audi has rear wheel steering, it is much less capable where it counts for me, on the twisty mountain roads where I live. Handling, more than straight-line speed, is to me the true measure of a sports car.
If you want sheer speed, nothing under $300k can beat a Tesla Plaid (the Lucid Air Sapphire). There are few things I'd like to do less than drive a Tesla.

This is really not a car design for the 0-60 or 1/4 mile or any drag race situation (not even autocross). It's a RWD and heavy. When you do high speed on highways, runs on twisting roads or racetracks, you will see and feel its glory. 
Tuning the car and improving other driving dynamics components will only pay off if you focus on what the car was design for and good at.
So to answer your question, I got it to 0-60 3.34 sec and 1/4 mile in 10.83 sec / 131.4 mph . This absolutely was not worth the cost invested in it.

However, once you pass the 1/2 mile mark, you will see most of these cars in your rearview mirror
This is where this car shines and, in most cases, unbeatable.

My comment about heavy was related more to its fitness into autocross, where quick right-left-right maneuvering is difficult. I rather be in M2 or M3 for this type of race.

The car just spins off the line, it was not designed for 0-60 mph ... but i did try, stock and modified, the best i got on the street was :
0-60 - 3.26 secs (one foot rollout) - LOTS of wheels spin
1/4 Mile best mph - 139.35 mph
1/4 Mile best acceleration - 10.86 secs
1/2 mile - 16.72 @ 167.58 mph
One Mile - 26.80 @ 190.24 mph

Yes, stage 1 tune, nothing aggressive. Including: well heated-up Michelin CUP 2 245.30-20 in the rear. Master the launch control to minimize slip and a lot of runs (which took a toll on the car). At the end of the day, any decent AWD BMW M or MB AMG can do this and probably better.

Good numbers? These are great numbers and no, there will be no AMG GT model (GT, GTS, GTC, GTR) making anything close to it in stock form apart from the 0-60. But apart from the AMG-One, no AMG or M-car can get close to 140mph in a 1/4 mile, including a C8 Z06.
