How did Car and Driver do 2.9 sec 0-60?

For "stoplight drag racing performance" I find it a lot more helpful to compare C&D's 5-60mph times. The BMW M5 has a faster one then the C4S. Also, the turbo-V8 cars (like the Audi S6 I had) always "feel" faster - especially in DD use. On paper my Panamera 4S is faster, but the Audi S6 (4.0TT) I had before felt faster and would probably be faster in a stoplight 0-40mph scenario.

Car and driver always seems to be 0.2-0.3 sec faster than anyone else. I like to watch carwow on YouTube. Real world side by side comparison from stand still and at speed.

The 911 was built for longer road races like Le Mans and not for drag racing, so I guess that’s why it’s not as quick off of he line, although launch control effectively changed all of that

Anyone that only cares about stoplight nonsense has a wide variety of wonderful Audi vehicles to choose from.

If you're buying a 911 for it's 0-60 times you're buying the wrong car.

Nevertheless, the 992 S getting 2.9-low 3s 0-60 time off launch Control is still an excellent metric of how fast the car accelerates and just another feather in the cap of this car, IMO

The 0-60:time is not the only reason I bought it, but it’s certainly one of the reasons.
