I heard from a reliable source that the 997TT had been tested to be faster than the CGT in acceleration.

I find it hard to believe, but it would certainly be interesting to see iot beat M5s, RS6s, etc. by a good margin.

 

Are you referring to 0-60?

I would believe it because of the AWD. If it can beat the CGT in the quarter, now that would be very impressive, and I would think **** a lot of CGT owners off.

 

Maybe 0 to 60 because of AWD vs RWD but it wont' outrun a CGT for long. Simple physics. 997 tt 3400 lbs and 483 hp vs Carrera GT 3100 lbs and 605 hp.

Carrera GT wins!

 

with the stock tires on a carrera gt with all that power to the rear the 997 turbo will just get off the line quicker with no wheel spin.

 

I beleive 0-120 the CGT will win....

 

that would **** me off so bad if i owned a CGT

its just like all the people who bought the SLR and now the SL65 at 1/2 the price is almost just as fast 0-150mph

 

not true. 997tt will be a perfect daily driver for most people that own the CGT. we see faster cars coming out every year but the driving experience in the CGT is hard to beat. ask buddy.

 

Here is a thought - Porsche rates the CGT 0-62 at 3.9 and the 997tt also at 3.9 (3.8 with AT). Porsche actually considers them equals to 62 with MT......

Bond

 

When is Porsche going to release all official info on the 997TT?? And how and where do they release it?

 

Road and Track 3/05 says the carrera s does a 0 to 60 in 3.9.

 

That was with severe clutch and tranny abuse to get that haha..

I highly doubt the 997tt will get a 0-60 in about 3.3-3.4 sec's and low 11's stock, but hey who knows!

 

Just comparing factory numbers to factory numbers - I believe the 997s is mid 4s in the factory specs.

 

Wow...we're magazine racing without a car even being tested. Get 'em to the track and see who's quicker on the Streets of Willow. If any CGT owners are too pissed, I'll buy them a new 997tt and trade them for their CGT. :-)

 

Im thinking maybe for a little bit b/c of the AWD vs RWD factor too but then the GT owns it after that.

 

But you have to remember, even though the CGT is RWD, light and lots of power, its BUILT for getting off the line with ease and not alot of wheel spin, we arent talking about a 300 hp base car with 400 more hp added to it that wasnt built to put it down
