Something is fishy about that. The 997 Turbo has a 0-60 around 3 seconds flat, and the Turbo S is 2.7.

So wtf is going on there?

Edit: I don't see PCCB's on this car, looks like Red Calipers- can anyone else see this?

One caveat. Those numbers are with launch control. Without it they are not even close in the real world.

The Turbo and Turbo S both have launch control, so how is that not real world? launch control is the new Bench Mark, soooooo you were saying?
