This month's Road and Track has a feature about 3 cars that go 0-60 in under 3 seconds.

Getting under 3.0 has been a barrier for a long time. According to the Article the Corvette ZR1 is VERY close at 3.5 and the Ferrari 458 Italia at 3.0 which is impressive for cars that are only 2 wheel drive, but the three cars that dip below 3.0 are the Nissan Skyline GTR, the Porsche Turbo S and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Supersport.

I thought it was interesting that they said that this time out the Porsche Turbo S was actually a bit slower than the last time that they tested it probably because this is a car that's been beat on by journalists for a lot longer.

This test was held on the 8000 foot runway at Ellington field which is about 3 miles from my house and almost literally in 125Shifter/David's back yard. I wish I'd known about it, I'd have been there.

There was also a short side article where they let a shuttle astronaut drive the Veyron (acceleration run for 5000 of the 8000 feet) and compare it to launching in the shuttle. His comments were interesting. http://www.roadandtrack.com/special-report/5-questions-with-drew-feustel-butch-leitzinger
