    You confused the lap times quoted in AB (which is no wonder as I am quite sure you neither have a copy of the AB nor of most other articles we are discussing here ). Open your eyes, do some reading and refrain from posting stuff like the above. You should at least be able to read carefully what has been written before posting nonsense.

    Dear Markus the title is of this thread is Autobild-Walter-Rohrl-997 GT2. So we should refer to this article. You posteed in this thread that the time is not proofed. You ignore the article in AB. You was happy like a child that I made the mistake with the lap times. But again you gave not a clear answer to my post. The only answer would be "yes I was wrong and the time is proofed" That's fact.
    PS: Don't imply that I use the word BS (you use this word very often) in my posts. As I told you in the Pizzeria I sometimes don't like your style of posting like you did with whoopsy. This is impolite and the opposite of being open minded.



    1. If you go to page 3 of this thread you can find my comment regarding the AB article.

    2. If you go to page 8 of this thread you can read that you called two of my statements BS.

    3. I start regretting that I invited you to this board. You contribute no information but continuously insult me. Either stop it or post somewhere else. Sorry

    P.S.: Just took the time to go through the entire thread and check where I used the term "BS": I used it exactly once, when Whoopsy stated that SportAuto might vary the length of the test track to achieve results "to their liking". I am really annoyed by your posts. It is not my custom to write posts in a bad mood (a bad mood which is apparent when going through my earlier posts in this thread). You should really refrain from bashing me in this forum. You don't do it in person. Thus, don't do it here. I will not accept it

    Second- If HVS test 997GT2 on Nring and get a 7.40 time on that test. What would we say about it compared to WR?? HVS must retire and must do barbeque at his home?? or something wrong with Porsche claims and real worl time tests.(As most of us including me,you,marcus and many of us assume SA and HVS as the most real one compared to other crap tests) Ok i understand there can be a difference but they have at least 8-10 sec difference which seems very high




    If that's the case a certain someone in here will surely scream omg my god the sky is falling, Porsche disappoint me again, I will not buy that car and all sorts of negative vibe filling the board. I noticed there are people here who by cars based solely on HvS's numbers and ignoring everything else.



    At least Porsche would lose a buyer with me. They will not give a sh*t about guys like you who don't even consider buying it as they are fully satisfied with a standard 997TT Life is brutal isn't it







    Nice gremlin



    Want some?




    Can you also offer other some other snacks



    Sure can! Crash, catering virtuoso!



    And in case turbosteff comes to visit:

    Nobody leaves "Chez Crash" hungry .


    Anyway, regarding your last post, Markus, I think you and turbosteff need to work this out. I would hardly call someone who is all laughs smiles when around me and then turns hostile when on the internet a friend.

    turbosteff, if you guys are supposed to be friends, act like it. Write him privately and explain to him what bothers you, but don't rip on him poublicly as if you were trying to roast him on a barbecue. This discussion doesn't benefit nor you two, nor Rennteam, as it severely diminishes the level of conversation we are used to. Markus is one of the earliest members here and has contributed lots of good information over the years - you can't just come here and bash him like crazy because his opinion differs from yours.
    Deal ith it over PM or invite him for a pizza, make him pay for it and then explain your troubles.

    an other Supertest fact:

    Hockenheim

    997TT: 1.11,9
    996TT: 1.14,6
    996GT2:1.12,6

    Kind of funny, that in Hockenheim the 997TT is about 3 sec faster and on a track 6 times longer only 4 sec faster.





    Is the 996 Turbo Hockenheim time with X73 suspension? My guess is that it isn't.

    Why is this important? If any 997 Turbo lap time is achieved with the best suspension setting available, then the only valid comparison with the 996 Turbo would be one with the X73 suspension installed on the 996 Turbo. It then becomes a "best suspension" versus "best suspension" comparison.

    I have never seen any NBR lap times (neither the small track or the big track) for a 996 Turbo with X73. I've never seen any NBR lap times for an X50 optioned 996 Turbo, and I've never seen any NBR lap times for a X73/X50 optioned 996 Turbo....I wonder why?



    Indeed, the 996TT time was achieved without x73, without LSD, with just 420hp and standard tires of the year 2000... Same applies to the 996TT NBR time...



    So two questions...why aren't there any times available, from PAG or independent magazines, and what would the 996 Turbo with X73/X50/MPSP tires do on both tracks?

    turbosteff, I have the Auto Bild in question and there is definitely no 7:34 time mentioned in there. There is a 7:xx though .

    Hi crash this is maybe a repost but again :
    Link:http://www.autobild.de/artikel/Themen-Testberichte-Duell-am-Ring_422642.html

    Here is one part of chapter 3 (Mit Tempo 270 durchs Schwedenkreuz) :
    "..Dann rollt er auf die Strecke, die Sonne guckt gerade so über die Baumwipfel. Der GT2 klingt überraschend sanft im Vergleich zum GT3 mit seinem Saugmotor. Nun macht Röhrl ernst, jagt mit Tempo 270 durch die Linkskurve Schwedenkreuz, "obwohl das an der Grenze ist und ich mich inzwischen frage: Brauchst du das noch?" Er verdrängt diese Gedanken schnell wieder. Dann die Fuchsröhre runter, das Kurvengeschlängel geht auch mit Vollgas. Bis er irgendwann zu den Sprungkuppen am Schwalbenschwanz kommt, die er so liebt. Auf der Döttinger Höhe beschleunigt Röhrl auf 302 km/h. "Der GT2 hat einen unheimlichen Schub aus den unteren Drehzahlen. Das geht schon bei 1950 Touren los." Bei 1950! Nicht etwa bei "knapp 2000". Im Ziel bleibt die Uhr bei 7:32,18 Minuten stehen. Dähne murmelt etwas, das sich wie "unglaublich" anhört. Dann macht er sich bereit.."

    I hope now all is clear.

    Ok you guys are lucky. Yesterday we smoke the calumet and we won't bore you with the H.v.S discussion any longer.
    But we still disagree in the validation of the supertest.

    PS: Unfortunately we have to realize that there is a big difference between what you want to say (with all emotions, tune,mood,irony) and what the reader finally understand.

    We don't know for sure but it would be very fast. About the same as the claimed Porsche 997 TT time. And easier to achieve for amateur trackers.

    Re: Autobild-Walter Rohrl-997 GT2

    However, despite all of the above, if I had to spend the winter in Europe I would probably get a 997 Turbo (with the GT2 seats) and get Manthey to tweak the alignment and add a few HP. The 996 series is looking dated now and there nothing faster or more fun in winter (or slippery conditions) than a 911 Turbo.
