991S versus f430 spider
Well here it goes. A friend of mine has an f430 spider and I am happy to report that from a rolling start my spectacular manual transmission 991S is a bit quicker. First gear we were pretty much equal, but as soon as I dropped it in second i jumped half a car length ahead of him. Third gear still ahead and very very slowly pulling away. thats as far as we took it. So there you go......

No surprise! Way to represent!
|
not a fair fight .. try racing the 458 :)
|
not a fair fight....400hp 991s versus how much on the ferrari?????????
|
430 is from 997 generation
|
The 430 should be a little quicker than the 991S, even the PDK.
Close to 500 horses and quoted 0-60 times of 4.0 seconds or so. Perhaps some of the Italian horses where on strike or did not show up for work ? Happens with those Italiens you know... Rainier |

yeah, 430 should beat 991... he isn't driving it properly..
458 would kill 991 and thats a better comparison of two "current" vehicles. |

As others state, likely a 'driving skill' issue. F-car is unbelievable.
Enjoy the 991 though - our Porsches are hard to beat for all around permagrin. Can't drive those F-cars thousands of miles a year. Well, you can, but no one does. :D |
Hard to believe "driving skill" ever comes into play in a drag race. But then again, the car price/driver skill ratio is usually inversely proportional, so I guess it makes sense...

F430 is 480HP, "should" beat 991S on paper. Interesting result!
