All these 911’s are VERY fast. Heck the 718 GTS is a 4 second car.

The F90 M5 has been clocked at under 3 seconds.
It’s all launch control. The McF1 would def be under 3 seconds with modern launch control.


That Carwow Matt guy got under 3 seconds for the GT3 and it’s not a particularly quick car like the M5 and the TTS are.


Did you see the YouTube video where the Turbo (not Turbo S) walked the M5? That was eye opening to me.
