Question Cayman S Pdk (987.2) vs Carrera 997.1 manual

In a drag race who would win? A Cayman S 2011 pdk with sport chrono package or a Carrera 997 first gen 2006 manual transmission:

-from a standstill, the cayman s will not use Launch control.
-from a standstill, the cayman s will use Launch control.
-a rolling start (20km/h or 12mph)

Please note that this race will occur on a private track (no illegal activity).
Please answer the three situations and how much do you estimate the difference will be (how many car lengths)?

Anyone can pitch in from experience?

First gen 997(non S) is slower from 0-100 then the 996. I'd guess the PDK Caymans S is slightly faster then the 997 but on par with the 996.

Even from a rolling start? I was wondering if at high speeds (180kmh and above / 120mph) the 997.1 would have an advantage...
