Video of 2008 CLK Black and my 2005 TTS Cab. Right click on the link and save to desktop. This file is 27 megs so it may take a while to download. The race is from 15MPH to 110MPH. The CLK race is 3 minutes into a 9 minute video. A stock 2003 X 50 996TT (silver) raced the CLK Black several times and the race was close. The 996TT had 1 car length until they both let off at 130mph. mY 05 tts has a flash so it is slightly modified.

Why not just upload a much smaller version to Youtube or use a normal format such as AVI/MOV/MPEG?

Adobe flash is available to Mac's too. Go to Adobe.com and download the plugin for free. If you have issues still, I will get you a link to the full super vga version. It may take 14 hours to download.

ok, I have the car and driver September 2005 test for the E55 AMG, so the car is an 06.
0-60= 4.1
1/4 mile= 12.5
top speed= 155 mph
Here is the Roat Test Data from three different mags on the stock 2000-2001 996TT:
Car and Driver September 2000 test so the car is an 01:
0-60= 3.9
1/4 mile= 12.3
Top Speed=192 mph
Road and Track November 2000(another 01):
0-60= 4.0
1/4 mile= 12.4
TS= 190 mph
Motor Trend November 2000 (another 01):
0-60= 3.98
1/4 mile= 11.92
TS= none listed
The average 1/4 mile time is=12.2 for the 996TT. Seems like they are very close in the 0-60 but once you start building up the speed, the porsche seems to pull out ahead if you do your part that is.
By way of Comparison the BMW M6 tested on July, 2006 did the following:
0-60= 4.1
1/4 mile= 12.4
TS= 162
Seems like they are all close enough that a bad driver makes all the difference. Until you get into the curves and the 996 walks away. Top speed is astronomically different though, the 996TT is well past the other two in TS

Yes. But the 55 series cars can be modded pretty extensively as well!
