I agree that the new m3 probably won't hit 0-60 in 4.2. If you look at the 997 GT3, it has a high revving 6 cylinder engine that produces 415 hp and 300 lbs-ft of torque and hits 0-60 in 4.1. Very similar output to the e92 m3. Given that the m3 will be significantly heavier than the gt3, i'd venture a guess that the 0-60 time will be around 4.4-4.5 sec.
