997 S 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, 1/4 mi 12.6 seconds
Amazing numbers put up by Car and Driver for the new Carrera S. Only 1/10 off the GT3's 0-60 run and .2 off the turbo's time (both as run by Car and Driver also).
Very impressive, and vastly different from factory times and those stated in other road tests, but with a new car, and realizing that p-cars get faster as the engines break in, this is quite an improvement.
Imagine what the 997 TT will do.
Even better, imagine what the 997 TT will do in the hands of Matt Fresh!

Those numbers are NOT indicative of 997S performance. The car was a ringer or something else happened. The acceleration increase relative to the changes made (and weight gained) over the 996 w/ X51 are not believable (or possible). How the hell would this car run with the much higher reving (higher HP) GT3? Incidentally, these numbers aren't far off the GT3RS. Yeah, right!

Rubber with better grip will provide a better 0-60 time but it won't provide a higher trap speed like that. Something is up.

Paul,
That's a really good time. I should clarify my prior statement: "never seen again in another car magazine test". I fully believe others have run that quick/fast in stock (non X50) Turbos.
