Thats kinda cool.

Thirty seconds gets you a buck seventy.
My first car was a Subaru wagon that took twenty to hit fifty.

[Adcampo]

That's fast. Especially the quarter mile time.

Mine too. Did it have a stick? Mine was passed down to me from my parents. '84 model. The best was when the starter went and my grandfather installed a push button starter. That was the shit way back then.

Stupid test. Where is the 0-100 kmh (0-62mph) ?

[924er]

Not bad at all
911 gt3 rs 0-150 in 18.8 vs 18.7 for the GTS.
Not quite as quick up to there but in the same league, looks like......(flame suit on)

This isn't really directed at you, Barry, but your comment is a good jumping off point.

The big difference is that the Porsche will do that time back to back, to back, to back, to back... All day long.

Road & Track took a 2014 911 Turbo S to an airstrip and hammered launch control 50 times in a row. The car never faltered. Porsche is definitely the exception, not the rule. I cannot think of another manufacturer who builds a car that can do this.

Don't get me wrong. I am incredibly grateful that BMW chose to build the M4 GTS. I'm also super impressed with this iteration of the GTS versus the E92. A 7:28 Nurburgring lap shows exactly what the car is capable of. There's still something in the back of my head that puts the 911 GT3 RS ahead of it though.

It's all moot though. I'm willing to bet that not a single M4 GTS buyer evaluated it against the 911 GT3 RS. I wouldn't be surprised if there were an overlap in M4 GTS ownership and 911 GT3 (probably not RS though) ownership that approaches 80%. BMW doesn't have to worry about whether the M4 GTS can do 50 back-to-back runs to 150 MPH in under 20 seconds, but the fact remains that the Porsche can do it.

Impressive numbers at 9c and at bruntingthorpe as it's not known for having a high grip surface, old concrete runway basically.

Evo also timed a stock m3 at 4.1 - 60mph and 8.6 to 100mph there.

Sometimes.

And only ever in months with four Mondays.

And only if the pilot has had tunafish for lunch.

Also, no guarantee that the passengers will arrive with all organs intact (or in their correct locations).
