R&T Tested the 911 Turbo slower than the 911S - obviously the world is going crazy!

Numbers differ a lot depending on magazines !!! Autocar recorded several times the 997 Turbo at less than 9 seconds for the 0-100 mph (the better being 8 seconds !! ) and the F430 wasn't in such good conditions either :?:

yeah i got that in the mail yesterday. its an okay read.

Yea the numbers really do vary, this is the slowest 0-60 time I've ever seen for the Z06, at 4.1 seconds. The general area that I've seen before tends to be 3.4 - 3.6 seconds. Also odd that in the C&D test you posted, the F430 was said to top out at 186, whereas here it hit 195... 0.97 on the skidpad is also far off the norm for the Z06, which generally hits at least 1G. Overall even, a lot of the specs seem pretty far off the average.

All the more reason to take reviews with a grain of salt.

Yeah true........ I have read some magazines that tested the BMW M5 0-60 mph at 5.0 seconds...........I dont know how that is possible :|
