Is that a fact or speculation?

The last 911TT with tip or stick was bulletproof. Do you think this car will be different?

If anything I think it would be better...

that's sick for a stock car....anyone venture to guess what a 60-130 range might be? maybe something in the 8 to 9 second range?

Love the times! - disappointed in the 123 mph 1/4 speed. Does it just bang out of the hole, then taper off in the top end disproportionately?

And the run in the opposite direction?!

You know, the one to average out wind assistance....

If all you are interested in is launches from standstill then you can save yourself a packet and get one of these which will do sub-3 secs: http://www.arielatom.com/specs/atom-...61c7ct4a8453f8

Must be high gearing? THis is bad news for gt-r.... But i bet with a great driver it can do a 0.124145 tenth quicker!!!!

I dunno if this is even acceptable lol i mean this will get boring in 3 seconds in most city driving.... Back in time you had 5-6 seconds 0-60 fun, now its down to 3? Are you guys sure you getting the most fun out of it and not the other way around?

A passenger is worth a couple mph, not to mention the car was probably heat soaked with random people hopping in running 3.1 0-60's all day. That's worth a 125 with no passenger easy.

Instructor does look bored though. Automated trans FTL.
