Cool I was looking over...

...my old car mags to see if anyone had tested a 911 Turbo with the X50 package and in the 8/03 Road & Track 0-100-0 challenge they did.

They tested the coupe version (~100lbs lighter than the new convertible), and got:

0-100 8.8s (w/ a 0-60 of 3.8)
100-0 4.2s

For a total time of just 13.5s over a total distance of 1147ft (included a 0.5s transition from accel to braking)!!!

Eight other cars were tested (Viper SRT-10, RS6, E55 AMG, 575M Maranello, SL55 AMG, Lambo Murcielago, Saleen S7 & Enzo Ferrari) and the only car that beat it was the Enzo which did the deed in 11.7s (0-100 of 6.9, 100-0 of 4.0 with a 0.8 transition)!

I'm sorry, I just had to share...

P.S. I would love to take a ride in that car, but my VP is kinda snobby and aloof...
