Just beat a 997tt on the autobahn during 190mph duel.

Adam,
good story... and a lucky coincidence to run into a 997TT. Nice to see your car managing to pull up beside a 997TT. Wish i was there to play along. Drive safely.
P.S. I feel sorry for Lisa...i know how it feels when you expect the power to come instantly under your right foot...and things turn around on you. At least she must have enjoyed it at the Nurburgring.

Wonderful story Adam!
The RUF R Turbo 550 and above should be faster than the 997TT.
I guess the R Turbo 550 does 0-200 kmh in about 11 secs.

Blahhhhhhh, the CTR is not even a 996!!!!
Don't know about you guys, but I can't stand old cars. Their interior and exterior are just OLD. Did I mention that they are OLD?! New is better, new is better, new is better.
