Head to Head battle with the new Carrera 4S

Got to run a new 4S last night, and it was a great run. I was in my boys CL55 AMG with 80mm FSP, Dyno Comp longtubes and BIP tune. Unsure of his mods but we went at it from 80-130mph.

He got the jump on me and put a fender on me at the end of the run. Not bad for a m113k with 150k miles.

All the 991 Porsches are super underrated. Do want.

that's where he pulled the fender, his upshift was so fast vs our tranny.

if we ran from a slow roll I think it would have been slightly different due to our tq.

06 E55 / 13 C63
The new Porsches (even the non-turbos) are ridiculously fast, especially up top. But holy hell, that transmission is in another world, it's amazing.


Does anyone think the MCT in the C63s etc. is close to the PDK cars?

i dont think so.
beauty of the PDK is that it can stand up to more abuse than it is counter parts in the Ferrari, Lambo etc
you never hear about pump failure, line rupture etc
