Autocar this week did 0-100 in 7 seconds dead! :eek:

Muncher · 26 Oct 2009 at 22:26

Brutal!

Freefaller · 26 Oct 2009 at 22:32

Ouch! My bike can just about do 0-100 in around 8.5s! That's VERY quick. :cool:

I can't wait to see what the GT2/3 does it in!

So quick....no drama. Doesn't look that fast from inside the car right enough.

maximum speed with minimum fuss. amazing

What makes 911's so special is their ability to do this lap after lap, day after day, week after week and year after year within regular service intervals and at the same level of performance. Many people forget that Porsche track history comes from building bullet proof track specials that will do what they do for 10 years, hell even 20 years without needing much more than pads, disks and some oil changes, maybe the odd LSD and shocker. No caveats, no warranty issues, does what it says on the tin, especially the GT versions over and over again without owners having to worry they have to visit the dealer after 2 laps.

I like that. A lot.

Barks · 26 Oct 2009 at 23:32

Brutal indeed.

No surprise given it weighs significantly less than the obvious competitor.

Thats so impressive... Doesnt even make a song and dance about it. Typical german engineering, Gets the job done and done rather well.

I like your sense of humour.

3.2s is absolutely savage though and makes sense given both cars are FWD and govern roughly the same power, weight difference aside. Anyway, I'll be credited for turning this into a classic VS battle, despite the fact everyone is thinking it.

What? Retired youtube posters?

Muncher is a respected poster with a credible standing in the performance car community. You?

I'm sure he is and that comment was more to vent out frustration regarding posters in the other thread. Then again, it's pretty obviously I was referring to the GTR whether you have read my previous posts are not. Don't want any arguments as for once I haven't said anything too ridiculous this time.
