That's what I'm sayin' lol. 2wd and under 3 seconds to 60 is pretty wicked.

To get better 0-60 cars are going to have to get lighter!

I think we need to see a weight loss race instead of a HP race. Some real gains could come from that. What's the last 911 to weigh less than 3000 lbs?, or better yet less than 2500!

I think the biggest challenge to making these 0-60 in 2.7 cars even faster is making their transmissions and gear ratios better. It's all about the gearing at some point and these supercars are at that point.

Decided that I can't wait forever for the 991 Turbo so my son and I are flying out to AZ tomorrow morning and picking up a 2012 Turbo S at Scottsdale Ferrari with 2900 miles on the dial. Basalt Black Metallic on Black Coupe. Stay a few days at the Resort at Pelican Hill and drive up the coast on Sunday. PICs will follow. Great way to end the Christmas vacation with my 12 year old.

smokinghot4cars That's a great pick up !! That thing is going to be a beast I would also consider some Clear Euro Side Markers on that Basalt Black. Enjoy and let us know how the drive goes.

In all honestly there are a few surprises in there. I am however not surprised that the Turbo S came in 1st
