    997 is faster, even with the tip.

    I was chasing a 997 6-speed last week in my 996 C2 (6-speed), and had no problem keeping up with it on a twisty road with decent straights. In fact, I was underwhelmed with what the 997S could do full-throttle; I was able to close the distance without any concern whatsoever.

    Perhaps if it was a 0-150mph drag race it might be a different story, but in that circumstance, the 996 C2 was not out-classed.
