From the article:
While the T can't match the GT4 for sheer performance, it comes impressively close. The T hits 60 mph in 4.4 seconds to the GT4's 3.7-second run.
I went to the Porsche site and they had the 0-60 time at around 5 seconds--plenty fast, but at more than a 1/2 second faster, I wonder if C&D's old test tricks are at work with these numbers. Over the years they've come up with some performance numbers on cars that other mags couldn't match.
The car sounds like a lot of fun to drive, but at this price, I'd say the biggest thing going for it vs. the C8 or 2021 Supra is the ability to get a manual transmission.
The lack of oomph under 3K sounds similar to one I drove at the 2017 launch; the twin scroll turbo in a Cayman or BS seemed not to have the same lag.
