Lol it's like an accident you just can't stop looking.


Johns since the car sucks so bad how about my lonely gt3 .1 vs your 599

45 minutes at Laguna Seca or Infineon?
I'm sure your expertise will prove how horrid the car is by blowing a car with 200hp less away?


Loser pays for the track time and dinner ?



Learn to drive these things and stop getting excited about straightline speed and you will then and only then know what a real car feels like.

Real life vs how it feels
Curious how hot it was that day? Turbo Porsche's are useless in high heat regions, 10-20% power loss from the heatsoak.

Agreed. I brought it up because in 30c+ outside temps, a GT2 or any turbo Porsche for that matter will heatsoak in a single 2-3 or 3-4 gear run, GT2 can see upwards of 80hp lost afterwards.

Can we please make this happen? And throw in Ronin and his canyon carving Lotus? I would love to see Mark own these guys on a track.

I have not driven a 997.1 3, only a 997.2 3rs and I was very very impressed with everything...even its acceleration. I was comparing it to a GT2 and TTS. All three cars seemed equally fast but the TTS seemed like it would be boring compared to the GT models. Even though I would not trade in my 2 for the 3RS, I would be very happy with either one. There is a little give and take from both of them, but just a little.
