M6 is no where near this car in performance.....what kind of claim is that

i'm sure the car isn't perfect but it'll rape many cars. the performance of the 997TT is staggering and you should be happy to own one.

after all its just a porsche turbo. great power thats easy to live with on a daily basis. what more could you expect from it? i think they did a great job with the 997, and if it still doesnt satisfy then you need to join the italian bandwagon.

I have driven the TT at a track and in the twisties. I currently own a couple of fast cars. Granted there are many high horse power cars, but the TT does not leave me disappointed. In fact, there are many qualities that the TT have that can only be found in a P car. If you are not happy with your car, let's make a deal. I'll relieve you of this terrible nightmare that seems to displease you so much.

That depresses me, may have to trade up when that happens. Hard to believe the RS will have that much more to offer, but maybe so

I checked the threads and result of that, i think porsche needs a E-gear or F1 type tranny to balance the driving pleasure

Question 997TT isn't fast enough?

I have a 997TT and a F430. By the seat of the pants feel, I think the 997TT maybe slightly faster. IMO, they're both fast as hell! I don't understand how LukasLuis can say the 997TT isn't fast enough for him. Sell the car (997TT) and buy a Carrera GT..... hopefully that will be fast enough for you. Magwheel

p.s. My son has a new Z06 and would love to give me a try but personally.... from what I've read... he may shut me down which would certainly bust my ***! Then again, my drag racing days are over anyway. I just like to crank my cars up to 90 or 110 when I feel pumped up and then shut em down. I'll leave the street racing to you crazy kids. Just be careful because being on several car forums, I've read and seen pics and videos where guys are wiping out cars everywhere!
