Anyone heard of a 997 C4 keeping up with a 996TT?

While driving home the other day, I was getting on the freeway when a 996TT got behind me, once we hit the freeway he gunned it. I immediatly got on it also.

The wierd thing is he wasnt pulling away, I was surprised, we kinda zig zagged threw traffic, but he wasnt pulling away like I thought he could or should.
I can understand if I had a S with the power kit, but a 325HP C4?

I have fabspeed headers, mufflers, BMC airfilter, and GIAC ecu...
Do these mods really give me that much power?

 

With the mods you have, you are probably making a little more power than a carrera S so it would not be surprising that you can keep up with the stock 996tt.

 

I wonder how many more stories we have to here about people with 997's(usually S's) keeping up with 996tt's untill people start to beleive it... I for one beleive it becuase i was even with one with my 997s

 

if you had a 997s coupe then its possible. i raced a 997S conv. and pulled 15+ cars on him up to 150+ from fwy speeds, we did this more than once and it was always the same, maybe he had a tip

however, anything is possible on the street

 

I don't think a non-s cabriolet could keep up with a 996tt.. he probably wasn't pushing it (or a bad driver).

 

i think from a 1st or 2nd gear roll i will deff keep up if not get alil jump on a 996tt up till 100 mph or so..i have a 6sp 06 997s with fabspeed muffler bypass pipes and GIAC.

 

I have a 996TT stock as far as engines mods, never got the chance to run into a 997S.

 

Your lucky, you would be put to shame... haha jk

 

Maybe the 996TT had problem such as leaking boost hose etc, Or Wasnt pushing it to the limit.

 

Hey im also from pasadena you down for a freindly comparo.

 

There is a utube vid of this and the 996tt wins after a close race in the first two gears or so. Pretty sure I saw it here but can't find it on utube, sorry.

 

Nope.......

 

There plenty of HP and perhaps more importantly torque difference between the two that its not going to keep up.

 

Not a chance, I once spanked a c2s cab with my C4S, just as meaningless.

 

How much heavier is a Cab vs a coupe?
