Gear for gear, there is ZERO chance a 997 or 997S is gonna take a TT. BTW, I own a 997S and would like it to be true but I know better.
You are correct there is no way a 997 S can hang with a stock 996 tt, sorry but something was up with that driver or car. Keep dreaming guys.

ya...Ill admit the 997s is a VERY fast car...but the TT is just faster...that being said...I am sure the difference is only really visible when both are pushing equally hard...

It's all about torque. Which the 997 is lacking compared to the TT.

LOL how come the 996tt driver is always in the wrong gear and always the one that doesnt know how to drive.. I guess the 997S drivers are a special case then..

how come none of the 997 drivers with the wild claims ever post up a video? With as many 6speeders as there are in S. CA, this ought to be an easy one to arrange.

Why do the 997S drivers have to be the ones with the camera,.. we can say the same thing for the 996tt, after all there the ones with the pride, we all know the 997S is obviously the slower car right.
So the 997S's crowd has nothing to lose, we see one lose to a 996tt we say ok no ****, but if we see a 996tt lose to a 997S thats a diff story.

the TT guys are always posting videos. why would the TT guys bother filming a race like that? that would be like me putting up a video where i kill a prius. what's the point? everyone expected it so why post it? you'd look like a bully.

Why would we expect to believe it could take a TT? it's down over 50Hp and has signficantly less torque across the band.

my supercharged 3.6 has similar performance to a TT and i've crushed S's with no problem.

Shoot, an S can barely pull an M3

I've driven both and own a 997S...no possible way a stock (even with by-pass pipe) 997S will out run a 996TT.

Lmao too funny, first posting a vid in which i was the one in the C2S trying to claim that that a 997S and an m3 are a close race, not knowing that the M3 is HEAVELY modded, then posting a race of a 997S losing to a 996tt which is even more HEAVELY a modded.
