Quote: 3.2, huh? I don't think thats possible

Porsche states 3.7sec...
True but it's my belief that 3.7 is to 62 so 3.5 to 60 makes sense. The 3.2 I read in car and driver when the car was a test mule. The figure just stuck in my head but even if they messed up (as usual) the situation that 3.5secs being just a simple right foot away is amazing.

Anyhow, apologies for the 3.2secs as I usually don't go off half-cocked with my facts.

On an unrelated note, I hit a 4.82 0-60 at the strip two weeks ago. Not exactly big league territory but my personal best so the wife was pleased to see me smiling for once!

My Kawasaki Ninja turns 0-60 in 2.9..............a 3.2 second stock street car is pretty friggin' hard to do, IMO, no matter what brand name.

Power/Weight........there is little or no substitute.
