What cars currently available could beat the aforementioned 997tt.

simply wait and enjoy your life!!! we will see some good figures, that is for sure but there is no need for speculation about tenth of a second.
you know what porsche claims and you know that porsche numbers are always very conservative. so let them suprise you!

Why the angst? This is a chat site. Nothing wrong in specualtion while waiting. I suggest you lighten up. Life is short and given your anger, maybe even shorter for you.

Regarding what cars could currently beat the 997t (i.e. C6Z). Don't like it but true .

I don't understand how you expect the manual to be faster at the contests you posted. Based on the data available, it's basically impossible. I wish it wasn't true, but facts are facts. And I'm biased towards the manual, mine is a launch car w/ manual, sport shift and LSD.

I respect your opinion, however, a human, unless telepathic AND linked to the 997t can not beat the tips performance; even after excluding the tips brake torqueing advantage.
I too, believe, that C&D will squeek out a few milliseconds or so, but it will be relative to the manual, (i.e. both will be faster, the tip will still win). Maybe, like you stated, they can lessen the tips advantage, but I wouldn't believe it to be by very much.

Because people still seem to suffer from some sort of "dillusion"? Due to the high torque, abuse will be either "limited" (electronically) or "punished" (destroyed clutch disc). I'd say that both may be involved.

Do you guy's have any idea what it takes to get a 3300 lb car to 60mph in less than 3.5 sec? Evey tenth of a second is precious and all the stars will have to align to get those type of numbers. If they bring it in around 3.7 it will be quite an achievement.

As far as the lower numbers, I feel C&D will manipulate better numbers to sell more rags.
