I don't care for straight line bragging rights, but for those who care:

Nothing wrong
Nothing wrong with caring about straight line performance, which car is faster then the next... It is one of (could be top 1 or 2) the main comparison test stats since the beginning of time. Look like you took sometime to find 3 vids suggesting you may care just a bit Thanks for posting, do mean that, as I enjoy many of the m5board races. Of course always speculation around what car is stock, who missed a shift, and the loyalist of each brand always seem to find an issue when their car looses.

I think that audi was dragging a trailer of stones to fall back that much...

The 911 is fast
but something must have been wrong with the R8 because its not that slow.

I personally think the R8 is ugly and overpriced.

Wow, can't believe the C2S PDK beats a E55, R8 and stays with a Gallardo. Doesn't it have significantly less HP? It's not thaaaat much lighter.

Where did you see it stay with the Lambo? It wasn't that close at all, but it wasnt as bad as that R8.

I guess I should rephrase. It stayed with the Lambo a lot longer than I expected. I didn't think the C2S was that fast. I thought an M3 should easily smoke it. Guess I was wrong.

I guess the PDK really makes a huge difference.

Just like you said, that PDK is amazing. There are more sport modes on PDK equipped cars as well. My father has a C2 and that thing is fast! Cant imagine how quick the S is with the PDK.

I have a 997.1 TT. I wonder how close the race will be against a C2S PDK.

with properly executed drag race style start 911 is unbeatable so they do rolling starts to 'even up' things. nice to see even in this mode p-car wins. but i doubt it was a fir test.

if they do not lie about 991 coming with 480 horses and PDK - I want that car. scud would proably be faster anyway but speaking of bang per buck p-car is a best option today.
