no problem.

The only thing wired is that on the last paragraph says:
"Performance numbers for the car are impressive: 0-60 in the low 4s, with quarter-mile times in the low 12s"



wtf LOW 12s????

It's crap! There are so many better write up out there than this jumble mumble. Plus, they are still using their own stupid performance #'s. Low 4's for 0-60 and low 12's for the quarter to be exact. What a bunch of idiots at RT.

I am not going to resubscribe to R&T they have no credibility left with me that they know what they are doing.

I know what you mean. It's a shame too. At one time several years ago, I thought they were second only to MotorTrend! (In my opinion). They clearly are lacking now! :bang:

What's funny is they ALWAYS seem to extract 100% of the performance from the Ferrari's/Porsches. Total Euro biased BS if you ask me..... If memory serves, didn't they get 0-60 in 3.9 secs for a standard 911? Or am I thinking of another rag?
