The much maligned 2010/11 tt

Anyways...
1) Trap Speed will tell you about your HP to weight
2) ET will tell you more about traction and your launch
A 10 second pass with a flash in a 997.2TT only happens with PDK. Try that on a manual.
If you want to compare engines...stick with engines. Show me a 10 second pass on a 6speed 997.2TT with a flash.

A 10 second 997.2TT with a tune doesn't tell me anything about the HP being produced by the car. If you want to compare engines and HP being produced, talk 60-130s or trap speeds.

If you just want to talk about engines then why do you need to run them at all, just put them on the dyno..

A dyno may help you determine how much additional power is being made as you take the same vehicle and add performance enhancements (percent gain over baseline)...but they serve as a terrible way to compare two vehicles. Different transmissions, different loads.

Because dynos are notoriously easy to manipulate - just look at what a "stock dyno" looks like for every vehicle on this forum. The runs all look different.

More to the point...
I have had the old and the new and I would never go back. My old car was a moded tip and while it was fast it just feels less responsive than the new one by a large margin. I think it is because of the DFI, larger displacement, higher compression and the PDK combined. The old car needed to spool a bit where the new one is ready all the time. From 0-100 it is in a different league. At high MPH # it's closer though and as you indicated a truer measure of power.
I drove the old one for 3 years and put 11K on it without a problem (except the battery
). It was the best new car I have ever had. I hope the new one is as good. After the break in I'll give this one the mod treatment as well. I really don't think that I need to worry about the motor, it's not the weak link. The motor will be able to crank out more power than the PDK can deal with anyway.
