Ass handed by a 991 Turbo (non S)
Got out of work early today, so grabbed some coffee and headed home. As I approached the freeway onramp, I saw a gorgeous Silver 991 Turbo with temp plates entering the freeway. I hadn't known they were released in the states, so I got a bit excited. The car is wide as hell from the back, it's got big hips and fat tires! We turned onto the freeway at the same time, and as I pulled to the left lane to overtake, I reached his door before he TOOK OFF. I was doing 70 at this point, he had to be doing 90-100+ a mere 3 seconds after I gun it. I let off at around 105 and he was already way ahead of traffic. I caught up to give a thumbs up, and the owner seemed to have a chuckle at what just happened but returned a thumbs up. M5 did a valiant job, that was the first time someone made me look like a chump lol. Anyone have an encounter with the new 991 TT? The Turbo S would have left me for dead. If they weren't charging an arm and a leg for them I'd highly consider owning one. What a weapon.

Not surprised I lost, just surprised by how bad. I promised myself an exhaust before new years, a tune will be likely follow. And no boots, it's never fun losing...

+1 it's all in good fun as long as you knew the out come before you started =) m5 is no match for 997 turbo s. Every time I gunned it in the 997 I still got the shakes(2 years old) . I love my m5 but I would not run it and expect a win with a 997 turbo or a 991 turbo it's not a fair race even with a tuned and tricked out m5.
Good news is my M5 is staying and the 997tts is out of the stable as of two weeks ago. So take that dark siders ! I agree with you on the price of the 991tts because they want giraffe money for it ! |

Here is a run between a 997 Turbo S and a F12 M6 (supposedly with the "press tune" @ 620hp)
Here is the Manhart Racing M6 (700+hp) vs the same 997 Turbo S: So a tune is definitely needed to keep up with a 991 Turbo |

Will always be a hard race same HP's, and 1k less on the weight two different cars. My 991S is no turbo at 400 HP, but it never loses traction on a lanuch which he key to getting out of the gate.

Hahahaha! Yeah, that is not a match-up. A buddy of mine said his friend's Turbo (non-S) ran a 2.8 0-60. Imagine the S! Porsche notoriously overstates the speed of their cars. They will say the Turbo S runs 3.1.
The TTS is a true super car. See below...

Good to see that Gustav is still out there going at it! Yeah, tune and then some. That 991 Turbo is a fast car.

The one in the video was an S. Only about .2 diff in the non-S. Likely still would have nosed out the McClaren.

McLaren is top end warrior though, after 80 the McLaren would claw its way forward. The 12C is a car that I would have no choice but to let pass lol.

I am in love ! Picked up the TT S 3 days ago and it is really the next level ! Already put 500 miles on it and so happy with the overall performance and usability ! I canceled my gt3 order and got this . Really the only downside so far is the price ;( ouch !

Wow, nice! How does the Porsche compare to the M3? I probably know the answer since my M5 destroys my M3 in a straight line. Your TT S must obliterate it.

Yeah I might as well be in Europe lol. I'm going to give them a call, didn't know GT3s were released in the states so soon. And surprised no one has bought any of them this past week!
