As much as I hear about the 458 being so fast, it's amazing to see the Turbo beat it. Much respect to both cars but I'll take the turbo. (I will probably be the only one to say that)

It should not come as any shock that the Turbo is the faster car in a straight line.

I have not had any acceleration runs against any Ferrari that could stay with my modified Turbo 997.1.

But there is more to a car than pure straight-line speed.

But the Turbo is half the cost - both at purchase and in maintenance.

Either choice is a good one. The only perfect choice is both!

Very impressive. My guess is that the Italia is better on the track vs the pdk S.

What's interesting is that it looks like the Turbo gets the lead at the beginning - due to (I think) a superior launch - and that lead seems about equal for the rest of the run. So I wonder how it would pan out with a rolling start. My guess is the Turbo still wins, but it would be very close.

P-Car TTS is very quick from 0-60 and never gives up that advantage.
