I think people are not fully getting/believing the effect of weight on the 930.
I would have thought very low 5's but the more I think about it the more high 4's sounds right.

Excellence recently had a head to head between the 2.7 (not the S) Cayman vs. the 1973 RS also a 2.7
They put both on the scales and the old 911 LeMans winner with barely 220hp barely tipped the 2 ton mark. A 5.5 second car.
While the nearly option-less 245hp Cayman was still almost half a ton heavier than the RS. But still the Cayman with all that weight was a 5'ish second car. I'm sure the 930, way lighter than a Cayman, with more power than a Cayman would go at least half a second(a blink) faster.

The Lotus Exige with not even 250hp but also well south of the 3 ton mark gets from 0-60 in under 4 seconds. You can beat anyone off the line if you go on a diet!
