Around Nordschleife manual with LSD is faster then TIP and that is the FACT.
That is correct. Also, imagine the disbelief of the Tip driver on the Autobahn, when you slowly, but surely, leave him behind.
Do we have P claims re: 997TT times around N-ring for man w/SC&LSD and PCCB/street tires vs Tip w/SC and PCCB/street tires?
ROTFL re: all the fantasy encounters many expect to have on autobahn/on CA fwys btwn 997TT Tip vs manual (or any other allegedly emasculating/Viagra-equiv car)
....
Even in mkts like SF/Munich, doubt one sees many of these competing machines in daily driving; I'd bet 90%+ of $150K+ cars actually driven are used in urban regions w/traffic and speed lims hampering much 120MPH+ cruising (even in urban AB settings I suspect
).....and the really big boys prob fly NetJets/equivs when they need to traverse 150mi+ anyway.....
When I occasionally see $150K+ commuter cars (even on wkend), the driver typically couldn't care less/has never challenged me to race (he's prob just late to a mtg/business dinner, as I often am
).....to me (and I suspect 99%+ of actual buyers and heavy users of $150K+ cars), only straight-line metric of value is real-world 60-120MPH accel (60-150MPH in Munich), for carving through clumps of traffic on fwy/AB.....
Will get 997TT Tip in Jul (to replace my curr 996TTS Tip) and also will have 599 w/F1 tranny, for when I want to be able to play w/paddle shifters during a dry pavement run......even in twisties (typ do two early AM mtn twisties drives every wkend it's not heavily raining), I enjoy steering/chassis/throttle resp/braking precision&balance best w/both hands on wheel, letting various computers interact to determine best gear.....but to each his own.....
