The 991 was off line, had some traffic and didn't appear to be braking hard. Combine that with a 3x price tag and I've found them surprisingly easy to keep close with too. Good driving none the less and a tuned k24 car can keep up better than the guy who just spent $150k would have thought.

I am going to give your driving the credit too. On paper, and at the test track in professional hands a 991TT destroys even a tuned 996TT. It is not so much the horsepower. It is the chassis and suspension that does it.
