I have found that to be different comparing the cars Ive owned: 9 M's, 11 AMG's, 2 Ferraris, Huracan, 9 Porsche's including 5 Turbo or S's, plus many others. C&D as a collective whole has produced better traps and zero to 60 romps.

I dont disagree that we can all find a few times where R&T or MT found a better time but C&D is the winner- plus they adjust their trap times too. No one has tested an M8 at 2.5 or 129 mph yet (that Ive seen).

And yes, I mentioned the 93 octane prior here as well. Anytime I want to show the best times in a car Ive owned my "go to" is C&D - Its the male enhancement magazine for cars
Couple Russians on the Dragy app have hit 2.5 seconds no rollout on the M8.
