Re: Cayenne TT vs 997.2 C4S
That is the strangest track I have ever seen, looks like a wide sidewalk through a park, made of cement not asfalt and in blocks with joints every few feet... not really fit for harder sprung sportier cars, but I can't imagine riding a bike there! 
If that track was as long as the Nurburgring, the difference proportionally of 1.2sec would be 13 seconds per lap.

Re: Cayenne TT vs 997.2 C4S
Hahaha.. I think no one watched the video, cos no one wanted to know the answer 
Carlos, you are 100% right, on a track like the Nordscheife, the C4s would be miles ahead, but it is still an impressive feat, and I think on normal B-roads, the C4s would have a hard time losing the Cayenne, beyond one or two bends.
Of course, that does not mean that the Cayenne is a substitute for a 911 for sports cars lovers... I seriously hope the next 911 is seriously quicker than the current 911, and can smoke the Cayenne in a similar vid.. otherwise one starts doubting the value for money.
I wouldn't part with my current C4S for just prettier headlights and navi systems

Miles ahead on the Nordschleife ? I doubt it but it could be slightly under one mile.

Re: Cayenne TT vs 997.2 C4S
So let's say for the sake of the argument, on the same track, same day, same driver, etc, etc blah-blah, 1.2s lost to each 45s... That is 2.4s per each 90sec or 4.8s per each 180sec (3 minutes).... 6 minutes would be 9.6s... add another 90sec and the gap becomes min 12sec for 7minutes and 30 sec... Add another 45 sec to get to 8:15 minutes per lap 
and that is 13.2sec....
Now, what is the average speed on a track that is 8:15 long? ( loooolllll I KNOW this is stupid math but I am just havin fun)....
8:15 equals 495 seconds... for 20.8km.... the average speed would be let's say 150 km/h....
in 13.2s at an average speed of 150 km/h you would have a 550meters difference (or about a third of a mile)....
So I believe a mile it's more like it giving the nature of Nurburgring...
