That 10.9@129 1/4 mile run by C & D is 911 Turbo territory. Not that 11.1@126.7 on 91 Octane is any less impressive.
11.1 at almost 127 MPH on 91 octane is actually quite astounding. The F90 has siginificant boost - and these new cars/ECU's pull timing at the slightest hint of - well anything.

The MT article has now completed the trumvirate of North American car mags and they all have the same message:
