He'd prolly have more trouble with a 996 TT because there are MANY that are NOT stock.

his car has similar power, but less weight. from 50-140, I was ahead by 1-2 cars, but he was coming up on me FAST.

realistically he should have never behind unless he has some monstrous lag or sucks at driving, like really sucks, considering it was a roll on.

that or his #'s are b.s.

my car from 50 before the exhaust mods. I jump out instantly, as you can see, 0 lag.

You still should not get 2 cars on him, if you get two cars, his turbo system is bad or he was in the wrong gear. Two cars is a long way to get at the start from a 50 mph roll.

dgussin1,

Good kill. But thinking that a 997 TT is as fast as a Z06?

I test drove a Gallardo and a 997 TT the other day, and while the 997 TT was much faster than the Gallardo, for the Porsche boys that think it is as fast as a Z06 are on some serious crack. It is close from a dig only becasue the Turbo is easier to launch. From a roll, the Turbo is histroy!!

Again, good kill and keep it up..

Not you again! Who said the TT is as fast? From a launch to 120 it can be as fast for the reasons you mention (LAUNCH).

The fellow wants a cookie for taking a 997tt in the break-in period stock.

LOL. Maybe the driver shifted from 3rd to 6th in the Z06.

In a test for their June 2006 issue, Motor Trend managed to run the standing mile in a stock C6 Z06 in 29.3 seconds at 174 mph. That same car also ran the 1/4 mile in 12.0@122, so it wasn't exactly a factory freak.

http://www.corvettesoffresno.com/mtlemoore06.pdf

Based on that article and your Nardo results, it would seem to indicate that it takes the Z06 nearly the same amount of time to go from 174mph to 188mph as it does to do 0-174mph. Not likely, especially considering the Z06's near 200 mph top speed.

Maybe somebody has some other high speed tests on the Z.

The 300kph data from AMS/Nardo was revised due to some errors. The 57 sec number was wrong.
