That 911 turbo engine is a beast. C&D got 2.9 seconds to 60 MPH, and 6.8 seconds to 100 MPH, even under unfavorable pavement conditions....even the Ferrari Enzo couldn't quite match it. In fact, that much grunt could, in heavy traffic, make the car very risky if you don't use a LOT of caution with the gas pedal.
