Gtech Runs - All Solid - FYI

Performed a number of G-Tech 0-60 runs. Low was 4.75s, most were in the 4.8s range. All had wheels spin...probably lost 0.1s to 0.2s each time.

This car is very fast!!

FYI - I had an M3 loaner, and couldn't do any better than 5.25s (the M3 loaner was given to me when I swapped out 911's).

I have had a handful of regular 996 P-Cars. Other than on a track, the C55 will run a circle around them...the TT & GT3 are the only ones to be affraid of.

I would like to believe your numbers but they do seem low.

Running a circle is a strong statement..... and you forgot the GT2

Ha ha. You are correct on both accounts, though, my C55 off the line is quite a bit faster than my previously owned 996 carerras.
