Default Few Laps in 991 and 997

Here's a few laps behind the wheel of the 991 C2s with PDK, with pro race driver Shane Lewis at the helm. The Palm Beach International Raceway hooked us up with some private time before our club night to make some videos. Let me know of there is something specific you guys would like to see.

nice...was there a noticeable difference between the two cars? Also, did he drive it in pure auto mode?, or was he actively shfting the paddles? the 991 "looks" like it was more tight (whereas the 997 looked floaty, like my 2008 997S did)

I took a look at a lap in each and he was 2 seconds faster in the 991, but the laps were noticeably different. He was not using as much of the track when driving the 997. What model is the 997 by comparison and how are each equipped?

The 997 is a 2009 PDK w/ Chrono, Sport plus michelin pilot super sport tires. the 991 has the stock pzeros. He shifted each car manually.

Scott nice video. Would be really nice to hear Shane's impressions on the new 991, and also comparison between them.
