If C&D is to be believed (and if my memory isn't failing me), the 911 Turbo S
achieves 0 to 60 in 3.7, wedging it squarely between these 2.  Quite a track
car, and a bargain compared to the McLaren at a mere $125,000 (or is it
$150,000?).  

> ps: plus, the McLaren just looks better, much better

No argument here!  Handles better than the rear engined turbo as well, no
doubt.  

Mandatory BMW content:  the real question is where will the Z07 fit in--a
light car with the new M5's engine could be awefully fast.
