Finally, why has EVERY car magazine that's tested the GT500 found it difficult to lose even a base (400hp) Corvette?
I think the scenario of your modded Mustang meeting up with a non-broken in Turbo is most likely.
A 997 Turbo is fast to 60 than a Carrera GT - but I suppose you'd smoke a Carrera GT, too, right?

That said, I like the GT500s, reminds me of the muscle cars of my youth.

I can't find where he said the cobra is the nicest car in the world and it is better than the porsche in every way. Give credit where credit is due and move on with your life!

Crying about what mods someone has when you meet on the highway doesn't happen. You run ***** out and hope you have enough, quite often the high end cars that think they rule the road get a ghetto *** whooping they don't soon forget.
In the real world of big hp cars a 997TT is a tinker toy, not hating just the facts.

Sweet car, I have alwasy admired and respected the capabilities of the GT500. However, this result is to be expected. Actually it could have been much worse.
Perhaps some of the stereotypical insecurities that porsche folk may have are true. Oh well.

I'll see you later. Give me a ring and I'll come meet you at your pad. Unless your modded, I don't see you giving me any sort of whoop ***. I'll have the camera.
there was no personal attack. I was merely telling him what I thought of his opinion. That of which was calling me a liar.
my car weighs 3830 with no weight reduction (according to the scales at the track) As Vicious would say, just a **** hair more than a 997TT
Some people have a hard time with things sometime. I truely was expecting a difference response.
thanks dude.
LOL. Your posts always make me crack up.

Thanks

Did I mention the plans of a twin screw and some weight reduction. I want a piece of the TTGT. Is it bone stock like your Z06 was bone stock? or like the Ford GT is stock?

Nice runs, Dgussin. Your car is a monster, bro.
Lately I've been thinking *very* seriously about getting a GT500 to park next the 996. Or a TT Viper (yummy), or a ST Supra. Decisions, decisions.
