I have to admit I am not a race car driver. I have not gone to any tack and the roads I have timed my car have been two lane country roads. The biggest problem I see with reaching some low 0-60 times is having to change gears. My G50 gets to about 30 MPH in 1st gear and then just through 60 in second. I actually had a faster time of 4.57 just by starting in 2nd gear. If anyone could launch the car faster I'm sure you could shave some time off easily. I could spend some big bucks and get some tall gears and my times would be incredible. The reality is that I like my car. It has a lot of power and is fun to drive. I don't plawn on racing it in a Nascar event. Perhaps a car show, taking the women out to dinner and picking my son up at school. The car is a blast. Everyone looks when they hear the motor and then their look turns to disbelief when they see its a 911. Some of the builds going on right now are just amazing. Mine is just average. The car is running well. Yesterday reached the 80's and the car drove like a charm. The coolant temp remained below 200 but I didn't do any launches. Still, the car is cooling well. Perhaps the electric fans will come on a bit more.
As far as handling goes... The car handles incredible. I don't see any change. With the exception... This car has a lot more power and one must re-think the same curves in the road. Its a lot easier to go faster thru the turn. The car handles the same but if you are 30 miles faster then with a 3.2 one must watch out and not get to cocky. I will try a 0 to 100 soon...
