In 2011 race Porsche Cayman R did it at 12.7 sec. and at 111 mph while the new Cayman S equipped with 7 speed DCT managed 12.7 again but slower trap speed at 109.7. So, virtually as fast but in real world was about to fall behind the R if they would be racing each other. It would also fall behind a 1M a second later because 1M also had a higher trap speed but was 0.1 sec. behind to 1/4 mile (or not who knows, different driver, tires etc....too little difference that 0.1, especially thinking that Cayman S was DCT with launch control).

I was expecting the GT-R and SLS fight for the first as it just happened but would bet for the Viper instead of Audi R8 for the third place. Also, not surprised that AMG wagon beats the M6, it can beat many other cars as well with that engine and 4wd.
