i have driven the 996tt and the e55k, on the same day even. like i said, there is no way the e55k can get enough traction to get outa the hole as well as the 996tt. thats the whole point of awd, MORE TRACTION!

my "facts" are my experiences so i dont know what to tell you.
whats 911TT do in 60' a 1.8? 1.7?? Ill give a good driver a 1.6. I think lex could pull a 1.8. Ive seen a Shelby spin its wheels and still beat a Evo off the line.

The SL was stock at the time-- and I hardly consider my bodykit a "mod". It was stock, all it had was the rims.

And for you're last line, I could say the same.

1 tenth in the 60' = 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile
