991 turbo S chasing a bike at the canyon

its unreal how fast a 991 turbo S accelerate n handle the corner. a 997 or 997.2 turbo are pale in comparison.

The car is amazing. I won't ever need Viagra with a video like this. I raced a weekend warier on a Harley and did a launch and beat him until about 70 mph. The look on his face was priceless.

Not sure I'm getting the point. Harley's in general are slow pigs and now where near as fast to 60. Now if you told me u raced a BMW S1000rr or similarly fast crotch rocket I'd get it.

Don't get what was so impressive. The bike smoked the turbo every time he twisted the throttle. The only time he caught up was when the guy was loafing along. Would have expected something a bit more interesting. Any 911 turbo would have delivered at least comparable performance here. Bikes often get to the comfortable lean limit on the street before a sports car will start to slide. I was expecting something much closer.

I don't doubt that a stock 991 TTS would run circles around a stock 997.1/997.2 TT, as you claim but a more appropriate title for this video would be, "991 turbo S trying to keep a bike in sight at the canyon"...for much of the video, on long stretches of asphalt, the 991 TTS is totally out of sight trailing the bike! That's not saying much vs. a 997.1/.2 TT

Car in the video is a 996 Turbo

This car is a 996 Turbo not a 991 Turbo. Take a closer look at the video. Their are not white running lights not he front of the car. The car has the standard 996 Turbo hips not the wide ones on the 991 Turbo. Still a good video. It actually looks like the Angles Crest Highway in southern California. If you know the aroad most sport bike can kill a car in the turns.

to keep it short, the 997 or 997.2 tt would understeer quite a bit. the 991 turbo S, i did not felt any undeersteer so far. i said pale in comparison not run circles . you have upgrade the suspension
