Porsche turbo vs E63

Hello guys,

My girlfriend's brother and I were out "test driving" cars a couple of days ago. He was in my 997 turbo and I was in the E63. We did a few 60 to 100 runs, and he was only ahead of me by about 3/4 of a car length. The E63 is quite impressive!!

Gorgeous cars. Is your turbo GT silver? I love the GT3 wheels. Are the wheels painted too??

aroundt those speeds.. its pretty even..

anything over 100.. and the higher trap speed of the 997tt will pull just about any car...

did your girls brother know how to drive your car, (shift points, boost/rpm, torque band, HP band)

given that he was driving your 997tt you have to take that in consideration as well.

nice choice of cars!

No. My turbo is tip and he was in the sport auto mode. I imagine if one was in 3rd gear at 60, the turbo would have pulled harder on the E63. We are going to try some more runs next week.
