But I'll have to agree, they were not designed to be the ultimate drag vehicle.

My answer of the GT2 having faster traps was based on the fact that the GT2 will always be lighter and have less driveline loss, thus the trap speeds will be higher with all else equal. But then again he said "equal weight" which is odd... did he mean add some weight back into the GT2 to make it equal to the 996TT's weight? Or did he mean with both cars in their stock weight as they come from the factory (i.e. no weight reduction for either car, same amount of fuel, etc.)

Hey VRAlexander ... your video doesn't show up on any of my PC's, only the sound does. What's the deal with this?

You then quoted my response and said "I have never seen a GT2 put down better times than a 996tt." Not sure what this has to do with anything since the guy was asking if the trap speeds would be higher, not if one car would have quicker times than the other. Secondly, what does a broad answer like that have to do with a specific question like the one the guy asked?

IMHO, the 60-130 mph measurement is a much better benchmark for determining the true power and performance of a 996TT: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...553#post557553 .

Moreover, I am scheduled to run another 800+ rwhp single turbo Subra later this month, when I get my car back.I am not doubting that a single turbo Subra, and many other cars for that matter, can me made faster than a 996TT (including mine) from 60 to 130 mph. I am simply pointing out (in the linked thread) that a 60-130 mph sprint has many advantages for 996TTs and removes many of the problems referenced in this thread that plague 996TTs in 1/4 miles runs.

Craig, try to run a well tuned gt47 car 
A 800rwhp supra and a 1200+rwhp one is night and day At the end, your beast is a 996, no supra can live up to the overall level of performance and class on the street.
