That's crazy sh*t. Based on your and other people's opinions, I'm really impressed with the 997S' acceleration.

You are so right... the 996TT is not as fast as it "feels"... where the TT "feels" faster the 997S IS FASTER in real life... me and my friend tried it before and that is the result i am telling you... 1st 2nd and 3rd all 997S faster by 1-2 car until late 3rd and early 4th on an uphill that my friend's TT pulled on me... if you don't believe me then go and try it with a 997S... i have owned both including TTS and i think i should know the BEST
