Message and in their press release I saw 5.1 to 5.2 0-60. Don't remember what the 1/4 mi and trap speed is though. Anyway, if you notice, the 333 hp peaks at a very lofty ~7k rpm and the torque only hits 263 or 268 i believe and that is at around 4500rpm, with reasonable torque throught throughout the rpm range. Analyze those graphs (a high peaky number for torque and hp means nothing) rather what is important how broad the power band is for the car. The M3's power band is semi-peaky making it less quick than one would imagine it might be. It isn't making 333hp at every rev, if it was it would be a lot faster. It will be minimally quicker than a ZTT if it is, and it will be a rivalry for the Z like the SupraTT is. I guess we will just have to wait and see......
