QuoteTo get those times requires engaging launch control. It's as easy as turning the drive mode knob on the steering wheel to Sport or Sport Plus. Stop the car. Hold the brake with your left foot and hold down the accelerator with the right until the engine revs to 5000 rpm. Look as far down the road as you can before releasing the brake, and whooaa. Keep it floored for 21.4 seconds and you'll be going 180 mph.

0 to 60 on 2.2 seconds

I'm not old enough to drive this car
I would kill myself  on the first day...  probably leaving the dealer's showroom

And then a 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S shows up and hits the reset button. Launch control and 640 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque— improvements of 60 horses and 37 pound-feet over the outgoing model—turn up the acceleration. The time to 30 mph is 0.9 seconds, that's the power to pull out into traffic pretty much as late as you like. Stay in it and 60 mph passes in just 2.2 seconds—making it one of the quickest cars we've ever tested to that mark—with 100 mph coming in 5.3 seconds. It comes so close to dipping into the 9s in the quarter-mile with a 10.1-second run at 137 mph.

Whoa..................................

That supposed to be fast according to them? Porsche sucks, you can't fit in one unless you're a hobbit.

If you don't think 0-60 in 2.2 and 10.1 quartermile time is fast, I just gotta ask; WTF are you driving?

I was referring to the part where they say 180 in 21 seconds.

I have a 2021 Ram 1500 Hemi Laramie Night Edition. Black on Black.  My first Laramie. It rides so much better than the BigHorns that I've previously owned.

0-60 in 2.2 seconds is faster than freefall  :respect:

Meh, I'll take a ZR1 Vette over that Volkswagen.  

It seems pretty impressive tho, very quick 0-60
