    So faster than a 911 GTS, which is lighter, lower, has less drag with fatter tyres, porsche launch control, four wheel drive, and 46bhp more?

    Riiiiiight....

    It's actually over 200kg lighter than the GTS. Not saying the 3.9s is correct, just being pedantic. :p

    GT86 Kerb weight - 1180 kg
    GTS - 1420 kg

    ETA Make that 1240kg for the GT86, the other number was for the pre production model.

    You're not wrong, my mistake.

    Ans as you say, though, that's still not putting a 360bhp GT86 under four seconds 0-60...

    It is heavily modified in other departments too. You do realise that a tuned GT86 beat a McLaren MP4 round a track?

    gt86 (modified) = 290bhp per 1000kg
    911 = 285 bhp per 1000kg 0-60 is about 4s

    Power to weight about the same, drive train loss on the 4wd porker will be more. However putting power down will be easier on the 911. Hmmmmm actually I wouldn't want to call that one.:rotfl:

    Did you test drive that whilst waiting for your Lexus to be 'delivered'?

    Forza has many different cars you can drive, lucky for darkmatter.
