The 997 is clearly slower than the F430.
One of the F430 drives (that has also driven the 997's) said that the F430 was the best GT car he has ever driven , and that it felt almost like a "little prototype".
Question: Can Porsche get that type of handling from the 997?

The Acuras are very quick and seem to be quicker than the Spyders. They not only set the fastest time during the practices last week. as they had the fastest LMP2 lap time in the race.
Now I'm not sue they are able to maintain that pace lap after lap, but they will improve.
Also - I'm not sure that the Spyders were concerned with setting the fastest laps, as they know what it really takes to win a 12H grueling race.
However, it looks like Porsche need to not only keep a watchful eye, but need to move ahead.

It is for sure that Porsche's RSR is not as fast as the Ferraris. From the various articles about the two rivalries, the Ferrari sounds more planted throughout the various courses. I wonder what if Porsche did without the smaller wheels to allow a decreased overall weight. Would the results be the same or would the RSR function better using the wider wheels?

I have just discovered a very interesting fact: Last years car, set the fastest GT2 lap time (in race trim) at Sebring of 2:02.723. (Flying Lizards - Patrick Long)
This years car set its fastest race lap time of 2:02.721 (Flying Lizards - Richard Lietz)
Improvement?....
