997 Turbo S Cabriolet 1/4 mile

What is the 1/4 mile on the 2012 997 Turbo S Cabriolet?
I'm only finding info on the coupe which would be a lot faster.

I automatically assume that its roughly around 11.4ish on the high end..

Any input?

Even at ~250 pounds more than the coupe, it is still capable of high 10's @126/127mph on stock tires with density altitude below 1,500 feet on a decent drag strip. Although would probably do most runs between 11.0 and 11.2 is my guess. Multiple bone stock couple have done 10.7's at 129.X as posted on this board.

All 2012's have PDK and launch control. That's the secret formula to 10's.

Where did u find that info and was the car stock?

The coupe will easily run high 10 and even close to mid at best and those numbers have been reported. I think 10.6-7 is on the high end for a coupe S, under 10 for a convertible a little hard to believe. One magazine tested the 08 coupe 11.4 and cab 12.

Rule of thumb is 1/10th per 100 lbs. of weight. 250 lbs difference = .25 seconds difference. 10.6 in a coupe would be 10.85 in a cabriolet.
