Interesting to note...that Edmunds reports the 1/4 trap speed averaging the last 66ft of the run to make it on par with what sort of trap you would see at the track.

You have to think this is a 10s car pretty much right from the factory...given a good track surface, the right amount of fuel (lower weight) and negative DA.

I think this 997 TT PDK is a bit underated....from factory. Its putting down more power than its marketing materials publish.

ZR1 is a great sports car.. but if you read the car and driver mag.. it will tell you everything you need to know.

If I had to drive one to work... I'll rather pay the extra money for the P car.

All weather, easier to drive to the max and around town.. nothing can touch it.. except for a modded GTR with tune and down pipe.. would be interesting.

Then again, there are some nice mods for the 997TT as well.

Also, the 997TT S model is coming out with an additional 30hp...
