Sorry, I meant quicker of the line. I drive a Camaro 550 the other day and for all the horses that it has, it couldn't put it all to the pavement like my 997 can.

Turbos are all wheel drive and likely has a better balance ratio.

Apparently the Telsa P85D is quite formidable off the line. This area is swarming with Teslas but I think I just saw my first P85D the other day.

Most/all American muscle car stuff is RWD and front weight-biased so would have a severe traction disadvantage vs. a 997TT, or really, against any 911. And the monster AWD vehicles like the Grand Cherokee SRT are waaaaay heavy.

Porsche has never really been a car designed for drag racing...

I'd avoid a drag race against a Z06 Corvette or against a new Dodge Challenger Hellcat...

First, yup good bye rep points, if you have a Manual there are a lot more cars you cant touch. If you have a PDK or Tip, I think only the NEW c7 Z06 or other highly modified cars. In a 997.1tt Tip you should run with a Hellcat to 100 then pull away.
However that is both driver hit the gas at the exact same times with the overboost and brake boosting on the TIP. PDK I dont believe even the z06 would smoke it.

Get mad manual owners but in a straightline you guys have to hit perfect shifts to stay even with c6 Zo6's camaros, or hellcats and some GT 5.0

The PDK should beat both the new Z06 and the hellcat off the line if you use launch control. I ran a 11.06 with my 997.2 PDK when it was stock. The launch is where you will get them, they might catch up towards the end though.
