Very good. I am impressed with the 997TT.

But isn't this like the comparison between the Z06 and the 997TT?
No no, just joking...

 

Seeing how the tip 997tt fairs a bit better than the manual at launching .. where would it be on this comparo?

Also, those numbers seem a bit conservative for the LP640 .. I have seen normal murcielagos push better speeds.

 

Yes indeed, you are right!
The LP easily brings out a 3.5 secs from 0 - 100...probably they were not able to do better since the weather conditions were bad

 

Man, the turbo is fast... really fast.

 

Now that's a comparison.

 

IMO, In terms of pricing/looks.. The LP640 costs as much as a clean CGT these days.

Zo6 < 997tt < LP640 < Carrera GT

 

Still would take the LP640 over the Turbo. Any day.

 

Who wouldnt?????

 

I would also take the LP640 over the TT any day.

But I'd take a CGT over a LP640 anyday..

So in the end... Porsche wins.

 

Wow, I thought the performance figures of the LP640 was out of this world ....!!! NOT. When it comes to looks, it beats the Posche 997TT. But since i have an idea of the performance figures, it shows tha modded 996TT cars will beat it. That is peace of mind.

 

im sure you can get the 997 to match the numbers of the LP640 with some mods, maybe ECU upgrade, exhaust and etc.

 

Great great test! im kinda dissapointed in the lp640 numbers, i thought it would be faster than that. lambo toughted that this car was going to match the CGT, , yea right! still a great performer though. 997TT still goes to show it doesnt need a 12 cylinder to run with one! I read in the paper today that it weighs in at 3700 lbs, about the same maybe just a ltitle more than the 997TT, except that it has 160 hp more and barely outperforms it.
I DID NOTICE ONE THING THO. from 0-180 km the lp runs 11.8 sec and the turbo runs 10.5
From there, the turbo starts to catch up. 0-200 km are lp: 12.0 and the turbo 12.5 sec.
So the 997TT was down .7 sec to 180 km and at 200 only down .5
So the 997TT starts to gain from the 180 km point. Id like to see 240 km and see where the cars are then. i have a strong feeling the 997TT will have caught up by then.

 

997TT is nice, but the Lambo is the magnet of the two.
