Humans will be humans....one quickly becomes jaded re: tq (or whatever) re: any car when it's a daily commuter car....and there's always a new iteration every 6-12mos w/better straight-line tq delivery and/or twisties steering/chassis/brakes nuances.....isn't tech innovation great????

Had 997TT Tip/PCCB some ?18mos ago....paper tq figures are meaningless....its turbo lag made its effective tq fairly weak for those accustomed to AMG tq....

Had SL65 some 18mos ago....great tq, but its traction, even on dry, uneven CA pavement was weak...drive my CL63 faster than 65 as CL63 has far more confidence-inspiring tq/traction balance....and, IMO, '07 SL65 had better chassis damping/stability than '07 997TT in mtn twisties...drove them back-to-back in twisties: preferred 65....

Don't know how bad places like London and NYC regions have become for car nuts in recent yrs, but, in SF region, one can still easily differentiate/enjoy cars w/varying straight-line tq/linearity...and steering/chassis stability/brakes/safety balance in local mtn twisties....
