It's been reported and confirmed by several magazines AND by several owners with slips. I want to say that the lowest recorded was 3.6 if my memory serves me.

I don't know that any are on YouTube but if you check out the magazines you will find reviews where they hit 3.8.

I did a 4.0sec 0-60 with a 1.93 60ft time

a few guys running 1.8 and 1.7 60ft im sure they at 3.8 or lower 0-60mph

With an M7 or an auto? I've not seen any confirmed 3.8's with the manual.

Well most people don't have a vbox and one day magazine has a car usually not good enough to get best time..
I have an algorithm to get 0-60 from 60ft 1/8 mile time & speed
Usually within tenth of v box
Ill try that on fastest manual time

I don't know how accurate the car's 0 to 60 timer is but the other day I did it in 4.0 seconds and my start wasn't the greatest. My Stingray is an M7.
