12.3 is fast! Definitely quicker than any of the NA Carreras. That said, those cars are about sound/feel/balance...they’re not often drag raced. If you lined up against any modern FI Carrera I think the outcome might have been different. BTW was the 991 a PDK or a manual?

I was shooting for 12.1, but the goal is to break into 11's with a set of 16" drag radials by end of summer.

I never got a chance to talk to the owner, but I couldnt agree more, the 4s specifically, is an amazing car to drive.

I was just really happy to get out the hole as quick as Porsche did.
