The GT-R is very slow after 124MPH, as seen in 0 - 186 MPH tests (somewhere around 52s or so). That drag coeff. is there just for show.

I would really like to know the 1/4 data of the 997tts.

It looks to me that it is a possible high 10 scone car from the factory, which is totally insane!!!!

Watching the video, you see the guys blows the launch on the GT-R.

I know the TTS is faster than GT-R. But in this video its exaggerated by the poor dig.

Here we go again with Porsche vs. GT-R

The TTS should be way ahead of the GT-R. I think the 2012 DBA-R35 would be a better challenger. Nissan reacted to Porsche's improvements. Competition is good for everybody.

But I agree with the rcalcaide, the poor start will exaggerate the difference in performance.

Great article from AutoCar magazine. I happened to pick up a hard copy for plane reading coming back to the states from London.

The TTS time was 11.04 1/4 @ 129.35, 3.01 0-60, standing 1 km in 20.05 with a top speed of 163.2 mph. The GT-R figures were 11.98 @ 120.35, 21.65 @ 153.9. At the end the TTS was probably ahead by around 375 feet (1.6 secs at 160 mph). The TTS 0-60 and 1/4 were the best with the F458 2nd best at 3.27/11.29. The winner at 1 km was a Noble M600, which ran 20 flat @ 173.8 (with a 6 speed). In the article, they raced 3 cars against each other at a time and then the three winners (TTS, M600 and F458) in a race off. The GT-R was up against the M600 and SLS and according to the article was several car lengths ahead "in an instant" before falling back.

intresting to see what will 2012 gt-r run in stock form, I think Nissan got offended with the numbers 997.2 came out with.

TTs is sick tho.

i would think that the TTS would break in the 10s, considering that magazines here in the US are doing 11.0 with the TT...
