Check out what my buddy picked up yesterday

^yeah sub five second 0-60 is a bit optimistic.
But driving this car fast takes brass ones. For its short wheel base its still allot of power over the rears...keeping it in the powerband without some sharp hands means you can spin it easy....no air bags in that puppy.

I always think of the slant noses when I see this car. I think it was one of the Transformers cartoon character back in the mid 80's. bingo

Sub 5 is realistic, 2800# car, 282.00 Ft-Lbs torque. It moves.

There was an old saying of which I don't remember exactly, but it goes something like this "...fastest 930 driver is a fearless idiot..." because snap oversteer in the older swing arms cars, you gotta keep your foot planted on the go pedal when it gets a little loose

All I can say is WOW What a beast!

Based on the Wikipedia stats it can do 4.6 seconds:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_930

The 930 weights ~2800 lbs with 300 hp, ~9.3 lbs/hp Approx 4.6 seconds 0-60
The S600 weights ~4400 lbs with 500 hp, ~8.8 lbs/hp Approx 4.5 seconds 0-60

Not a significant difference there - I could believe the times ..
