Bet the house on the 997TT.
As a matter of fact, bet everything you can get your hands on.
The Black just isn't that fast in a straight line.

Hard to beat the 997tt from a dig where they shine with mega grip. My personal experience on the autobahn 70-150 was Dead Even.

Of course 997TT AWD would be faster. AWD and Engine ove the rear wheels give superior grip.

Yup, no contest here...Ive owned 3 997 TT's one i tuned to 580hp and 580lb/ft......these are amazing and forgiving cars with unbelievable engineering.....Rockets and theyre not even really 1/4 mile cars bc of awd etc, but they are seriously scary fast especially tuned...
