0-60 times are suspect. They seem somewhat conservative. I'm betting it's actually

more like 4.8-5.0 when driven correctly. It's nothing new for manufacturers to understate performance numbers.

I agree with you, but the styling is not what i was expecting, How much does car weight? do we know?

Default 5.9 was the recent 0-100km figure for B5 S4...

...magazines got 5.5/5.6 0-60mph. That's a 0.3/0.4 improvement for achieving 2 less mph. I'd be surprised to see a 0.6/0.8 improvement. If this thing really does weigh close to 3800 lbs. and only has 344hp/302 lb-ft, there's no way it's going to be below 5.0 seconds 0-60.
