This shows how much better is the 997TT for an everyday use, turbo engine has much better torque and even better gas milage. The GT3 gear ratios are too long just like previous generation. This really cuts some driving pleasure, at least this was what I felt while driving 996 GT3, the power is to spread along the rev range, never really felt big punch from the engine, I much prefer the power deliver on Turbo engine thrue the rev range, just my 2 cents.

It cuts the daily rounds driving pleasure, but this car is meant to live above 5500rpms, on a track, revving hard, similar to many other high-strung NA engines (F430, S2000 etc etc).
Correct me if I'm wrong, because I don't read Italian, but it seemed like the GT3 had some better elasticity acceleration numbers in 5th gear than 997TT? How could that be true?

I think the GT3 got the better milage...it's in km/L.

I know it's Km/L, please read again the numbers, 997TT needs less gas than GT3.

Maybe you misunderstood a litlle. The numbers indicate the distance traveled in km's with 1 liter of fuel.
Please look at the numbers again and you will find the GT3 is a little better. At full speed both can drive less then 3 km on one liter. Turbo 2.O km/liter versus GT3 2.4km/liter.
Hope this helps.

Italian car magazines seem to be flawed indeed... Remember that crazy test of the 997TT vs. F430 etc. The only test out of about 100 with such crazy performance data
Maybe the Italian magazines should focus on translating sportauto and AMS tests. Would improve content quality quite substantially

So you also say sportauto is true, right??
