Lawrence, that is out of the hole where the tt kicks booty, once your rolling, the 500+ ft lbs of torque are real .. real big! This thing pulls and will outgun a tt as was described, in a straight line, probably well past 120 mph.

These were data taken on the same day for the same test 0-100mph-0. The non-X50 should be slightly slower but should still be faster than a E55 IMO.

I disagree because you're talking about 0-100...the E55 can't launch worth a damn. It has waaaaay too much torque for the rear 265's. From a 40MPH+ roll (outside of the TTs lightning quick 1st gear) the 996TT will lose to the E55. I raced a 996TT and won. I wish it weren't so.

Too many (daddy's loaded) young kids driving Merc's in OC. I see it all the time. I don't bother especially NPB arroung CC, PCH and Irvine. During rush hour too many speed traps. Funny story though.
