The fact that one can only HOPE (!) that the 997TT is faster than the F430 shows how miserable a car the 997TT is (in particular with manual gear shift).
I still cannot understand how Porsche could present such a disappointing car.




so if we think that the 997TT is faster than the F430 that means the 997TT is miserable?

and if the 997TT performance figure is better than the F430 that makes it such a disappointing car?



Given that the F430 is two years old now - their shouldn't be one iota of doubt with regards to its performance against its Italian counterpart, but, there is.

The turbo doesn't have the F430's cachet. It never has and never will, but, that was'nt its intended goal. Performance was alway Porsche's claim to fame. And now that seems to be in jeopardy. I'd say that's a little disappointing.
