I agree with both you guys, although I would rather have a
997.2 TT with PDK but the budget does not allow.

well it's no longer Nagtroc vs 6spd. It is Nissan NA vs Jalopnik vs Corner-Carvers

brief summary - I posted the runoff challenge on Corner-Carvers, a Nissan "Exec" gets on Corner-Cavers and tries to deliver a smack-down and instead goes full-retard and gets a full-facial from the forum. Nissan finds out and puts him in the penalty box

A supposedly stock 997 TT PDK went 10.9 @ 125 with a 1.5 60" on PS2's.

That car is crazy!!!!

 

no surprise there. Motor trend hit 11 flat at 128, so it was only a matter of time before someone who actually knows how to drive hit 10's. Road and track totally screwed the poosh on their recent test of the new pdk turbo. They ran it as fast as the old 6 speed turbo. they must have had Grandma driving the car

 

Are you talking about the test against the GT-R and ZR-1?


If so that car ACTUALLY WAS A 6 SPEED!!!!!!!

Look at the video. It was not a PDK Turbo.

 

ahhh they had to give the porsche a handicap...lol...and it still won the comparo

 

What talent is there, exactly, that is required to to place the foot down on the accelerator?

I believe that the difference between 10.9 and 11secs could be just the track prep.

 

absolutely., timing is everything. And when I saw the 11 flat, I knew it could do 10's. The turbo S pdk should be much much faster in the 1/4.

 

I saw that test too. Boy the stuff is gonna hit the fan over in NAGTROC land now. I can hear the excuses now: "The 997.2 TT didn't win any of the performance tests and it was the overall winner?" Road & Track said they chose the manual because Porsche builds one of the best, but I wonder if that was the real reason they did so?

 

Yeah, I doubt they chose it for that reason. They more than likely chose it so that the comparison wouldn't be a slaughter. It would have decimated the 1/4 and all the other acceleration and beaten them on the course as well with the extra reaction that the pdk provides. Not good for a comparo to be that one sided.

 

Timing for what?

The time doesn't start until you cross the line.

 

I'm not too sure that anyone will be expect the GT-R to outperform the new 911turbo w/PDK.

As far as comparisons... When an M3 beats a 911turbo and GT-R, based on it having 4 doors and more leg room (not the coupe), I pretty much gave up.

 

I'm guessing Porsche paid off some editor at Road & Track. After all, once you start illegally manipulating the stock market, a little pay off is no big deal.
