Thumbs up Finally....997S v. 996tt

im half asleep this morning, got 2 hours of sleep

im driving on the fwy (in another country ), i see a 996tt lowered w/ black taillights, i pace him for a little but he doesnt bite, i move on. a little bit later i see him trying to catch up. i let him pass me and get behind him.he moves over 2 lanes and ounches it and so do i. we went from 60-120 or so. i pulled about 1/4 of a car on him at the top of my 3rd gear :dunno:, before and after the top of 3rd it was dead even. i was very surprised that i pulled on him, but then again my bypass pipes really opened up my top end.

Your wasting your time, no one will believe you.
When I read the thread title I thought ther was going to be a vid. Cause ther has been many stories with 996tt's vs 997S's.

videos are always the best way to substantiate your claims...otherwise, no one will believe...and even with a video people will make excuses about leaving too early etc etc etc. just make sure u get a buddy to ride along with a digital camera and record it.

I believe you. The HP isn't that much more and there's the loss due to his AWD.

Ive never driven neither of the two. But the Carrera S is impressive but a TT 996 I would think would pull from 60 to 120. Just my opinion. I love to see that on video though

Who cares what the 996 folks think...I've seen it several times. I wouldn't waste much time trying to convince people. It's not worth the effort.

If you say so, no reason to doubt you. But i'v seen 996TT's in the 11's. A 997S, I don't think so.

He must have been in the wrong gear as in one or more gears higher than you.

Gear for gear, there is ZERO chance a 997 or 997S is gonna take a TT. BTW, I own a 997S and would like it to be true but I know better.
