I'm pretty sure the GT3 can go much faster than 0-60 in 4.3, in fact the Porsche website states that the car can do 60 in 4.1 sec and usually manufacturers put conservative numbers on their sites.

yup, 4.9 for M3 seems retarded almost. the old M3 regularly hit 60 in 4.8 sec.

Lexus estimates will be conservative. I believe they will state 0-60 in 4.8.
I believe when the car is released, the magazines will get quicker times in the 4.4-4.7 range.

I am concerned about rear traction as the rear tires are only 255s with 400+ hp. Hell I'm running 275s now.

Mid 4s at the very best, high 4s very likely. The reason that 0-60 is still preferred by most - over 50-100 - is because most of 50-100 is illegal almost everywhere you drive.
