Stop getting upset about 0-60 figures.

They are all completely subjective, and are never accurate (as accuracy in 0-60 times is virtually non existent). There are so many factors involved that I think 0-60 times are the absolute stupidest measurement of automotive performance.

0-60 means nothing these days. It's all 0-100-150.

Besides, I really wouldn't take those times seriously. They sound wayyy to slow.

am with you and this is why I am getting one, but:
-am surprised at the spread between announced and realised...Porsche tends to provide good estimates
-even if the car will do better around a track (its purpose after all), straight line acceleration is something you also look for. Figures as tested put it at par with some sporty luxury saloons which for such an exclusive supercar is a tad disappointing.

Now, I know measuring the 0-100 is volatile (didn't crank&piston mention 3.6 for the 0-66!!) but these 2 reviews reinforce each others
