4.4 sec. sounds reasonable considering that some car magazines got as low as 3.9 sec. The 997S feels as fast as a stock tt IMO.

They do have a website,but it doesn't have this test on.

I drove a 997s and felt its performance was very very close to the 996tt (stock)
MOst tests here in the uk are getting 0-60 in c.4.5-4.6,and 0-100 in 10.5-10.8.
I felt up to 120 mph it would stay cpmfortably with the SL55 im currently driving.
