Very interesting - thanks for sharing.

Based on those performance results, I noticed that the 997.2 TTS is not that far off/behind the 991 TTS considering it has a 30HP delta vs the newer model.

I know Porsche usually sandbags its power ratings and often performance data, but I always felt that the 997.2 TTS was rated a liltte on the conservative side. And although the delta between the two models do not seem that huge, I have seen the new 991 TTS run consistent 10's in the 1/4 mile whereas the 997.2 TTS needed to have all the stars lined correctly to achieve back to back 10's.

Anyone sees or feel the same way?

Thanks!

 

thanks for posting, nice summary info on the three amigos.

 

Fascinating lateral G force values. Confirms that the TT and TTS are track weapons after all, and not just on long straights.

 

I have run back to back 10.9s in a poor DA with my 991 TTS.

 

I had a friendly rolling start short run against a 997.2TTS in my 991TT (SC) and was/remained ahead by a car length and crawling further forward. I'm sure the 991TTS would fare even better!

 

Heading to Englishtown on Saturday to see how it runs.

 

I wish I was more competent with the metric system. It is no fun having to use my conversion app for each measure.

 

Have fun and post some slips for us.

 

Will do. I haven't worn my racing helmet since I walked outside during Sandy to tie down some chairs that had come untied.
