If all that you car about is speed get a bike. My old Ducati would beat your 12.1 without even trying. You can spend 11000 on a Japanesee sport bike and pass your x1 like it was sitting still.
You can't throw a computer desk in the back of your Ducati.

You can say what you'd like, but I was the fastest car in Blue group in the PCA today. There is no doubt that a 911 is a better track car than the X1, but there is also no doubt that in my second track day ever, I ran a 1:48 with stock suspension in my X1 - faster than every single 911 in Green and Blue groups. A better driver could undoubtedly shave a few more seconds off of that. And there is certainly no other crossover on earth that can do this - check out the data, the X1 is pulling a sustained 1G+ in turns. That's nuts for stock suspension.
