Some guys with fast cars don't want to take them to the dragstrip, but it's the only way to measure the power of a car on an equal playing field with reliable measuring equipment.
On another note, I personally saw Sharky's car trap at 115mph in the 1/8, when he grenaded his tranny (I had to wait for the tow truck ), that run would have been a 9 second pass for sure.
There are some Very fast 996TTs out there, the modded ones trap in the 130s on a regular basis, the only cars that are routinely faster are heavily modded single turbo Supras with built stroked motors and twin turbo Vipers (8.0 liter built motors) both of which a 996TT with stock suspension will out handle in the twisties.

On another note... looks like the gt2s have some advantages... no PSM to deal with... and 300 lbs less weight...
Both of those advantages can give one .3 to .5 seconds faster ET... which is huge....
I hated my awd with PSM and the wheel hop.... my best 60 ft was only 1.74.

Just as long as you have it all in perspective. These are the best street cars in the world - none finer in my opinion - but one thing they ain't good at is drag racing!

Thats why some go to a gt2 that doesnt have PSM.
you can do a RWD conversion and still maintain PSM... if done right it seems to work well.
The tts are not the best for 1/4... wheel hop, short first and second gear... PSM shuts down the TB, etc....
Thats why we have to spend $30K+ just to get into the 10s... but then I drive my TT to the track other 10 second cars do not. LOL
Joe work on that 60 ft. I know u can do better. drop the pressure to 17/18 psi... Thats how I did my 1.74 60ft.
good luck,
markski
