Excellent vid from the GT3000.com boys available here
Btw. this is a MY06 Gallardo with standard exhaust.
Great video! You can see that the 997tt is quicker than the Gallardo, not by much, but it is definetely quicker.

The GT3 chasing the Gallardo was one of the most stimulating car videos I have ever seen!
Yes very nice. That is one tall mountain.
Where can I get this vid???

The 997TT accelerates quicker, I agree. The problem is that the 997TT does a top speed of 310kph only. I.e. you have a marginal advantage for the 997TT up to 310kph and above 310kph the 997TT drops out...
I can only reiterate that I am disappointed by the performance of the 997TT. The car is just on par with its competitors. No advantage any longer.

Gallardo MY2006 520hp 316km/h
Or in other words: Vmax of the main competitor from Ferrari plus 1 km/h ...
true they also did it once with the diablo that had 325kph top speed also 1kph more than the f40..

So the gallardo is 6km faster IF the rumored limiter is real. I doubt this would have any affect on real autobahn runs. The diver of the gallardo would have to keep it pinned at top speed for some time before closing the gap the Turbo had created.

There is no speed limiter in the 997TT. The gearing of the 997TT limits the top speed to ca. 310kph. Same as in case of the 996TTS: Top speed of 307kph was reached at maximum allowed revs. The shorter gearing supports acceleration performance but reduces top speed.

I asked you before: are you sure? The 996 Turbo S had a shorter 6th gear compared to the 996 Turbo.
All rumors indicate that the 997 Turbo is speed limited...because of the tires. I still didn't figure out the reason behind this but apparently it has to do with the CUP tires and not the street tires. It would be impossible to limit cars with Cup tires only, so they limited ALL versions. IF true (still no official confirmation), this would be ridiculous. I'll find an answer soon...hopefully.

Just take a look at the recent AMS test. The rev/hp/speed chart confirms that the car reaches ca. 310kph at max revs in the 6th gear. This is a pretty convincing argument, don't you think so
I am really worried that all this VTG technology and 480hp is not good for much: The 997TT *needs* a short gearing to show at least slightly improved acceleartion figures and to keep up with its competitors. No good news indeed
