Sharky: Torque or RPM's?
 
Sharky, since you've revived the white beast in a current thread, it made me wonder, if you could only keep one, would you go with the high revving gt3(rs) or a torque beast 996tt(800)?

Which would you rather have for sunday afternoons? Anyone with experience in both feel free to share your opinions...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he'd keep the RS.

maxwell... really tough to answer. I'm not sure how I could decide for just one. Colby is probably right though.. I'd say the RS for its handling, fun-factor and just being more controllable. The TT scares me and is a ticket machine:( It also makes any other car feel slow:smilie:

torque
because of so much weight, and the giant rear tires, our cars LVOE torque..
extremely stable, so why not ?
as far as high revving.. i love it too (gt3-rs)
but once you have a high torque car, it becomes addicting

just raced an m6 last night, and it was insane how quick, and hard i pulled away..

ya...torque is fun...but there is something to say about a "screamer"...

Steve K Mar 26, 2008 05:17 PM

for sure
nothing sounds as good as a CGt at 8000 rpms, or a GT3rs screaming at 8400
BUT
there is also something special about those two turbo's spooling up,and your head getting pushed into that headrest...

i absolutely LOVE my car at 3500 rpms and 1.2 bar :)

then once i release the gas, i get that pressurised whistle from the diverter valves

ahh music to my ears
