There is a 19 second difference between the 997.1 Carrera S and Turbo. The new 2009 Carrera S cuts that time into half and drops the difference to 10 seconds! amazing actually...
Don't know what to make of different times by different drivers. Is PDR capable of taking a handful of seconds off of 'ring time? Since Daves figures show the .1 and .2 very close w manual tranny it could be. Must be worth some time just by virtue of the speed of the shift and the gearing. It's all good

The 7:50 time was with PSC's (sport tires) while the 997.1 time was with non PSC's.

That makes some sense, other wise it really would be amazing the 7:59 with the 997.1 Carrera S is done by Walter Rohrl so probably could not be done any better than that...

Oh yes, the PSC's or other comp tire will lower the times dramatically. Walter Rohrl I think ran the 7:58 in the 997.2S as well.

Just shows you on paper it looks like it will be a lot faster, but even the older S is no slouch.

I'm not saying any bad things about the 997.1 S, I also own a 997.1 S. She is my baby

BTW the 7:58 you mentioned with the 997.2, was it manual or PDK? do you know?
