As an example, the GT2 will outperform the TT in terms of power, speed and handling. To get that, you compromise comfort, luxuries and options...

Truly, the 911TT is the best all-rounder out there at any price. As an all-rounder, and from that perspective, there is no upgrade.

I'm sure most agree if one is going to let loose it had better be a worth while adversary. All though with the heavily modded cars some may be hard to spot. Back in the day one of my closest races was a WRX who had god knows how many mods and after the race admitted he was also using Nos. I got him by a 1/2 car length and that was back in my Gemballa 550.

This past weekend I was coming back from the gym and after I truned off the fwy I noticed a black AMG SL jockeying for position to get up along the side of me. I could see it was new from the newer side grills but not until he finally got his way next to me and we stopped at the light did I see it was a SL65. Since I had an 06 SL65 for 2 years I knew they were practically impossible to launch but once they got going they really did pull well. I figured I'd be nice and let the guy get rolling before I got on it as he was doing his typical neutral revs as we were waiting for the light. I was in sport mode but kept the PSM on since I really didn't have to worry about launching. When the light turned green the SL spun the tires as expected but not nearly as much as thought he would. I easily just kept with him until 2nd gear as I saw he was off and running and then I hit it. I have to say after that I was pulling away from the SL at an amazing rate and finally let up when it was over 10 car lengths. It was so bad I though he possibly let up or made a mistake using the "manual" option but we repeated the run (he must have thought something was wrong s well) at the next stretch this time from a rolling start with the same result. I'm sure at higher speeds the TT V12 would have closed some of the gap but these 997TTs are true performers. Of course I have stage 1 mods on 93 octane but even I was impressed.

I think many of us get acclimated to the performance of our P cars and sometimes forget what performers these cars really are.
