Nice find, although that seems a little hard to believe. That means the TT takes 3.7 seconds to get to 60, but slightly more than double that time to get from 60 to 99 mph. (7.5 seconds!)
From 60-99 the base 997 takes 6.2 seconds and the S takes 6.1 seconds.

that's weird. must be a typo. Porsche claims 997 GT3 0 - 100 in 8.4 sec. no way the Turbo would be that slow.

They claim 8.7 for the 997GT3 which is very fast, GT2 fast!! That is def. a typo for sure, the 996TT did 0-100 in what, 9 sec, 9.1 and like 8.9 for the x50?!

Surely a typo. Autocar had published 8.46 for the 996TT but they are on the optimistic side usually...
