The Turbo has the lower top speed!!! and also it is not that fast - at least in number speaking - compared to the others....

Physics question for anyone: Once the Turbo and Z06 reach top speed, how many seconds does it take before the Z06 overtakes the Turbo by one Z06 car length?

Just look at the 0-300 time of the Veyron!!!!! It hits the 300 mark before the SLR reaches 250..
P.S. Those 599 numbers can't be right... NO WAY!

I agree those numbers are unbelieveable.
Regarding the Z06 997TT match forget it. The Z06 is a faster car. That ship has sailed. Also, the Ford GT is faster.
The 997GT2 would be a better match for the Z06 and Ford GT.

- The 997TT is faster than the Z06 a lower speeds
- The Z06 is faster than the 997TT in the mid-speed range
- The 997TT is faster than the Z06 above 250kph
- The Z06 has a slightly higher top-speed than the 997TT
Where is the Z06 a faster car? The test results contradict your statement
Both cars are in the same league.

Is this the only test you want to refer to? If so, the 1/4 mile test clearly shows which car is faster. If you want to use track performance, name the track and test which shows the 997TT beat the Z06.
BTW, if the numbers on the 599 are correct, I believe it will beat the CGT. Simply amazing for a $270,000 GT car.

If you are only viewing 0-62 as an indicator of perf. I would agreeed with you. AWD has an advantage over RWD. However, in every other measurement, the Z06 is the faster car. The TT does not reach the top speed of the Z06 though it gets to its top speed sooner. Other than these magazine test, I am not aware of anyone serious racing their cars at those top speeds.
On the street and track the Z06 is faster. Whatever happened to the Ring times for the 997TT? All Porsche's cut their teeth on the Ring and I believe the Z06 was close to six seconds faster than the TT. Additional, I am not aware of any track time where the 997TT beat the Z06. God knows there have been many excuses for the 997TT but the bottom line is the Z06 is faster and on that there is ABSOLUTELY NO DISPUTE!

According to this test (which contravenes every other test at these speeds) 997TT gets to the 300 mark faster but its top speed is slower 310 to the Z06 315. I hope this helps.

In the crazy US market , you can buy a year old used C6 Z06 for about the price of a bare bones, no options Boxster S . If you want a 599 TODAY ( i.e., not on the MSRP wait list ) , expect to pay about 7- 8 times that price .
