    Motortrend tests R8 4.2 at 0-60 in 3.7 Seconds!!!

    I was reading the Motortrend maganzine and the new R8 was tested the results were:

    1/4 Mile- 12.5 @118 mph
    0-60 in 3.7 Seconds
    0-100 in 9.9
    skidpad .99g

    Imagine what the V10 will do
    10' B8 S4 6MT- GIAC S1, Injen Intake, AWE Catback
    93' C4 S4 5MT- VEMS, GT30R, Built Motor etc...

    As this is in the States I reckon those times were performed on a drag-strip.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    0-60mph is definitely 3.9 seconds, I remember that, and 1/4 mile in 12.5@114 or so...I remember thinking, "dammit, it's trap speed is still slower than the E55," which got a 12.4@116 in some magazine. Still, these are amazing numbers, especially when you focus on the handling. If 3.9 seconds isn't good enough for you, wait for the V10! Drool...
