I spent almost 5 hours on the track today with my new 997TT... i filled the tank 3 times!
nothing short of an amazing very capable car! the car has plenty of pwer the front end is firm and planted point it and go let the throttle do the rest. the suspension is a little soft even in the sport mode, but i am used to my GT3.

the power is smooth and ver predictable, it is a blast to push it enough to wag the tail out.

I was running 19" pilot sport cups with pagid RS 19s all the way around. the braking was very simular to the GT3 same pads up front the shocks made it a little looser at 150 mph than the GT3 but that was to be expected.

cars alignment was factory spec. would like to have had a min. of -1 to 1.5 degree upfront.
the All wheel drive was incredible pulled through turns firmly...

i wish second gear was a little taller, but the touque made up for it.

I only hope you all get the chance to put the car on the track and drive it like it was ment to be driven

 

You're the man! Great wrte-up. Thanks for sharing. - Russ

 

Awesome, thanks for the write-up

 

Nice...got a vid by chance?

 

Cool. Thanks for the insights.

 

Thank you for the write up, It seems your the first one to track the 997tt amongst other members in 6speed

 

well the great thing is i got two more days to go at vir!

 

Cool!
Did you take any pic of the car on the track?
Would be awesome to see...

 

No sign of understeer I guess. Thank you for your impressions. Seems like the new turbo feels much better than the old one.

 

I enjoyed reading that too
3 tanks of gas? Wow.....fun track day!
I think I want to get behind the wheel......to test drive
goodluck, enjoy your 997 TT

 

alright, that's enough.....where's that order guide?

 

very nice write-up.. any pics of your car at the track? Id love to see a red 997TT on the track ripping it up!

Nice -- and good to hear the car was being used for what it was designed to do! What brakes do you have on the car -- from your description, the standard steel with a front pad swap?

I can't wait for mine to arrive...

 

Great write up, you guys sure waste no time and get down to business with these cars LOL!! Car sounds like a major improvement over the 996tt, damm! Would love to see some pics and videos

 

930Man,
How about a more direct comparison between the Turbo and the GT3's on track experience? Extra weight vs. extra power. 4 WD vs. 2 WD. Turbo lag vs. NA throttle response. etc.
