RC,
I wouldn't say WORTHLESS, since the 997 Turbo recorded a 7:40 time and the above post stated a 7:42 time both with Cup tires. Sure you can't compare times between cars without more data but CAN state the lower time was recorded as 7:40 and that's what I said!

I loved the 997 Turbo when it was announced and before they had given any specs out, I thought porsche would be able to out do the Z06 but unfortunetly it hasnt been able to either on a challenging track like the ring or on any other track..
Turbo needed Cup tires to imporve the 7:47 time where as throw cup tires on the Z06 and you will see CGT time is prety much treatened...Z06 would have been in the 7:35-37 range with cup tires..
Turbo has been a little let down in performance, but its still a sweet looking ride...and plenty powerful for everyday use, but you just cant have bragging rights with it..

aahh..FLYING start..yes thats how all are tested and you really have to be naive to belive that the 997 Turbo was tested without a flying start, even the CGT was tested with a Flying start...
so if you dont belive the Z06 time, why should believe porsche's official time, god knows were they running the next rummored power upgrade on the turbo with some 520 hp or something? who knows? they could have removed the back seats to make it lighter, i mean if you dont believ official times then there is nothing you can.
As for sports auto driving the car, i am sure that would be cool, but Z06 is a harder car to handle and i am sure those guys would not be able to pull a good time in the car but then again who knows..I would love to see what happens, but since sports auto runs there and have run in many porsche, they already know the setup and are comfortable with it, unlike the vette...
anyhow i would be waiting..

The CGT is still the king.
The others just follow.
Think you are fast, think again! The CGT is very unbeatable
for a street auto. It really deserves continued respect.

Very true. And not just the performance, look at its looks and sound. IMO has way more presence than the Enzo.
i really doubt that crash has ever seen or driven any car he's talking about.

I do. IMO it's the main reason why RENNTEAM is different from other forums. A lot of owners/drivers around -- not just some virtual theorizers, well informed or not.

All sportauto times havee been done with a standing start. It is obvious (given the relative ranking to 996TT etc.) that the 997TT times have been done with a standing start as well.
So the Z06 time is not comparable as it was done with a flying start (making up for a difference of several seconds).

I think your claim is inaccurate, if this was the case, it would always be writen next to the times, if the 996/997 times is so great with a standing start then how come on smaller tracks also the Z06 is quicker..
I dont get it, y is it that most everyone here wants to prove that the turbo is quciker than the Z06, I love the new Turbo but you wouldnt see me going and saying that it is quicker just cuz its my fav car for now..anyhow if you want to think that the ring times are standing start then thats fine, even the corvette quaterly said it was a standing start for the z06 but i dont believe it..

Wrong Crash. I'd say the presence of both cars is highly comparable, but to say the CGT "has way more presence than the Enzo" is just - how do you say - ignorant and childish.
