Hello Everyone,

Had the opportunity to run my M5 against a new 997 Turbo. The results were shocking and I felt bad for the Porsche owner (who's name I'll leave out of this for now as I know he'll be banned after posting this video). We did a few runs and here's two of them.

This first run I launched hard and, well, you'll see the results:

In this second run, I missed a gear and, well, you can see what happened:

Enjoy,

damn he got skooled. wassop with the 997tt are that that slo? the M5 didn't seem to be that fast in the vid. I think the 997tt driver was sleeping in the first vid.

 

Oak,

Actually I just flipped the description of the videos a little .

In the first video the 997 drive miss shifted which hurt him.

In the second video you can see the true results. The 997 Turbo left me good. I only posted the description above to get a rise out of my friends in the 997 who have been pinging me all night to post the darn videos. That car was an absolute beast!

Great runs today guys.

Regards,

Darren

 

Seems to happen quite a bit. I wish Porsche would offer the DSG already.

 

As soon as the video started I could tell it was Dallas before I looked up the name of the original poster.

 

Thanks for posting Darren! First run I was beeping the horn and did not grab the gear fast enough.

It was a fun day of running the toys! We ran a few test runs at the airstrip and it should be a sweet day of playing with the toys...

Thanks for running your sweet M5 all day Darren!

 

Had a f**king blast guys!!!!!!

Its amazing how fast that Turbo really is... The m5 is insane sounding.

Cant wait for the airstrip run to bad I wont have any of my cars beside the lil old S

Hey Darren I think that mouse is hanging around your house to much dude its prolly eating away at your engine stomp that *****

 

We can see the accurate results at the final parts of the both videos

 

turbo lag deffinatley had an impact

 

great runs guys! The outcomes all sound about right......good stuff

 

hahhaha.... I love the victory dance in the first video.

Nice runs.

 

997 TT is a beast.

 

You saw wrong man. At no point in time did the M5 have a lead on the TT even from 0 to 10..

 

LOL...great runs, guys. You look like you all had a blast!

 

After driving a 997TT two seperate times now, I can tell you for a fact that lag is essentially non-existant.
