I'm saying no way. There is a guy in the 997 section that is convinced he beat on one on the highway of all places. I could see maybe a 0-60 run depending on the driver, but the TT's shine on the highway. I don't see how it's possible given the HP and torque advantages of the TT.

Anybody in So. Cal with a stock TT want to settle this?

 

I am with you, DD... I ran a 996TT back when I had my Evo and my Evo was MUCH faster than my 997S. I ran him pretty even which tells me that the TT would take a 997S.

I like my 997S because I like the NA engine a lot - in a perfect world, I'd have one turbo and one GT3. As it stands, I get my turbo kicks from my A3 for now.

 

No way, the TT is faster.

 

NO, it is not.

NO WAY NO WAY!

That guy is smoking some good weed over there to think a 997 S would
outrun a tt on the highway.

 

I'd say he inhaled a bit too much TT exhaust fumes.

 

I have a stock 996 tt and did a run from about 20 to 90mph against a 997S last month. I pulled him by about 4 car lengths. I'm looking forward to doing another run when i get my car flashed in the next few months (and later an exhaust.)

i think he ran him up until about 120 so i assume the distance would or should be even greater....

 

It's harder trying to find a stock 996TT to run against than beating one...

 

My money is on the turbo.

 

The 997S ran the 'ring faster than a base 996TT, that's the only concrete info I have.

 

A 997S will beat any of your cars Deputydog. Your garage queens are no match.

haha no way a 997 is beating a 996tt

 

It's actually the other way around. The 997S ran a best of 8:05. The 996TT ran 7:56.

 

with all the members we have here, cant we setup a race between the two?
