Linking up to the discussion of 991 vs. 997 i.t.o. hp and torque, I did a quick comparison on Wed of the 991 C2S and 997 GTS (most relevant to me, given that I have a GTS on order). Some interesting details emerged: while the GTS has marginally more hp (408 vs. 400), the 991 S has it beaten on torque (440 Nm vs. 420). However, max torque for 991 S arrives later (5,600rpm vs. 4,200 in the GTS). Also, while the GTS has a marginally higher top speed (306 vs. 304 km/h), the 991 S accelerates slightly quicker (4.5 sec to 100 km/h vs. 4.6 for GTS, and 9.4 to 160 vs. 9.7). The GTS has its measure i.t.o. "elasticity" however, with 80-120 km/h in 5th gear taking 5.6 sec in the GTS vs. 5.9 in the 991 S. All comparisons were done on manual vs. manual. (Pls excuse absence of paragraphs - posting this on my iPad, which is not ideal).
