11.9@118 (PDK) -- "with some wheelspin -- would have been faster without" per Car&Driver https://s3.amazonaws.com/amv-prod-c...w-car-and-driverporsche718boxsterspdk2017.pdf

Forum member @Black718 did a certified 11.722 at Bradenton with a fully stock S on 93 octane, you can find his posts here https://www.718forum.com/forum/engine-technical-discussion/7570-718-2-5-400hp-factory.html

eta: @bowenxue hope you don't mind if I borrow this thread to provide other best times for 718 S, Cayman or Boxster PDK. All data from fastestlaps.com, which provides links to the original published source (cursor over the time and click to see source info). Notice how mph and kph times (from different tests and cars) tend to correlate over similar distances.

0-60mph: 3.6 (listed as 3.5 but C&D later corrected to 3.6)
0-100kph: 3.8
0-160kph: 8.4
0-100mph: 8.5
0-200kph: 13.5
0-1000m: 21.9
 
The issue with FastestLaps is that some of the times posted are either conflicting with other times or incomplete. (ex, a car is faster to 100 kph than to 60 mph) Therefore, I would not completely trust the times on FastestLaps.
They mix times from different tests in their summary page, and sometimes use 'manufacturers data' or less-than-best time. I don't know why that is, programming of their app I guess. And some of the times have a non-working link to source, or just cite 'submitted by member' (who indicated the published source at the time, ostensibly).

So despite seeming anomalies at first glance, with some digging and checking sources you can get a pretty good idea of the reliable best times, and these are what I've shown above. And yes, they are all ridiculously fast!
