Ive had some play time with a 996tt and they are not as fast as everyone thinks.
well, why are the zero to 60 times lower for the TT? i just can't see a regular 911 (compared to the GT3 and TT cars) being faster than their flagship model in any performance contest....

This 997S is faster then 996TT is crazy talk. Stock to stock the turbo is a couple car lengths ahead at 100.

I'm sorry. Did you say something? Whatever it is, I'm sure you're right, but can't stop looking at avatar . . .

...
The 0-60 times that porsche gives are conservative, in most cases it is in the low 4's, and 3.9 0-60, 12.3 @ 115mph ET has been seen with that car.

In no way am i saying that a 997S is faster then a 996tt at any point given equal drivers(except around a track), im just trying to state that it wont be a complete blow away, and if the 997S driver is very skilled and the 996tt driver is average then it will be very very close from a standstill and low gear rolls.
