I got the mailer from Porsche like many other People on this Forum and it says the Tip runs 11.6 in the quarter and 3.4 0-60. Where was this tested? was it with 1 gallon of gas in the tank? When the Magsazines get a hold of it will it perform as well or should we expect a 12 second Quarter.I am personally "Agitated" that Porsche hasn't released the TT to magazines for testing, considering that some Forum members cars are already built and being shipped.

wait .. a CGT runs 11.4 , a ENZO 11.3 i dont think that a 997TT can do 11.6.. for me its a little crazy. for me the tip will be not faster than the manual ,like porsche says.

I believe someone indicated that the 997TT beat the CGT time around the Hockeheim. If true, the Turbo is very impressive for the money. I just cannot get past its ugliness.

C'mon Nick! As a lawyer you should know that justice is blind, especially when giving the Ferrari looks more credit than is due. So just extend the blindness a little further and PRESTO - problem solved!

Crash, you have to admit it is a Rube Goldberg designed car. In order to distinguish it from all the other 911's they added a little here and there and what they ended up with is a train wreck. The car may go like hell but it better because when it slows down, the vomiting begins.

The 997 Turbo Tiptronic with Sport Chrono is quick, VERY quick. I mentioned it in another post that it comes pretty close to Pagani Zonda S performance from 0-125 mph. And I'm not talking about the factory claim of the Pagani but the recently Sport Auto tested 11.4(?) seconds. Funny enough, the Zonda is using the Carrera GT tire size AND the same Michelin tires with N0/N1 classification.
The 997 Turbo Tiptronic Sport Chrono is more than a second faster from 0-125 mph than the F430 (tested by Sport Auto). Of course I can compare only Porsche factory claims because we don't have real world review data yet. But don't worry, various car magazines already got the chance to put their hands on cars and sooner or later, we'll see a nice review with numbers from them. My only concern is: as I assume that most car journalists don't realize the performance difference between the Tip and manual, most reviewed cars will be equipped with a manual tranny. And of course the performance figures, especially straight line figures, may disappoint a few people. To explain it again: the incredible straight line performance figures floating around the net are 997 TT Tip figures. The Sport Chrono adds a little bit more juice to them but not very much. Around 0.6-0.8 seconds better performance from 0-125 mph, our rumors aren't too precise I'm afraid.
I don't have any valid 1/4 Mile time as a "rumor", so I can't say much about it. But one thing is for sure: almost no car on this planet is faster than a 997 Turbo Tip Sport Chrono from standstill to aprox. 130 kph (81 mph). And this is something we know for sure.

How do we know that the 997 TT is faster than almost any car on the planet to 81 MPH?? I hope your right about this claim.

Turbo S Sport Chrono will probably do 0-200 km/h in under 11 seconds, regardless of transmission choice, while the GT2 will break Carrera GT territory. Remember, the 996 Mk2 GT2 already did 0-100 and 0-200 km/h in 3.8 and 11.8 seconds respectively. Are we lucky to live in this age or what?

Physical limits of the cars and of us humans... The G's being exerted on someone under full acceleration with a car like the new Turbo will take your breath away... If it gets any worse, people will not be able to drive their cars to their full potential.
