I pick up my Turbo S Cab on Saturday AND I am test driving the 918 which is at the dealer for a day. What could top that day?

Just get a Launch Controlled 0 to 60 time and see what you get.... That is if they let you do that. Bet you will beat the Veyron by a good .2 seconds. Talking about with the 918 test drive. On a good day you should be able to hit 2.6 even 2.5 with that Turbo S and Launch Control 0 to 60. I just love how Porsche under-estimates performance numbers. On the official site it states 2.9 seconds but the old non S Turbo 997.2 with Sport Chrono could do that. Just to satisfy the Insurance Companies so they won't charge as much has part to do with it. But who can really tell the difference between 2.2, or 2.5 or even 2.9 except for a timing apparatus?

Off subject but I just want to see unbiased performance numbers on the LaFerrari and without their Optimum Tuning Goons in tow to make sure it get's the best performance where ever they are testing the car. Can't they just throw the damn keys to a Magazine and say "Have fun Boys, bring her back in a couple of days"?
