0-150-mph in only 20.5 seconds!!! That's faster than the 996 turbo! Someone better save this article for future reference.

 

Weissach, great article. Thanks. BTW, you have a PM.

I believe the numbers up to 130. The numbers to 150 are all over the map though - 19 seconds faster than a viper that is very close at all other speeds? 100 to 130 in 7.7 seconds (including a 4th gear change), but then it somehow manages to go from 130 to 150 in just 3.4 seconds (including a 5th gear change)....

This review and many others like it can be found in "Porsche 911: Gold Portfolio, 1990-1997" it's available on Amazon.

Thank you for this great post!

 

It was a typo. It should say 25.0. When they tested a 993 turbo S later on (against a Viper GTS) they mentioned this.

 

Why do they mention that the 993tt has "light" steering?
Why do they like the normal c2 steering better? i would think the c2 would feel more light as there is nothing up front and the TT has the awd in the front... just curious as im a TT convert after a c2

 

Rob,

Different levels of power assist, I think.

 

My wife and I had a 993 C4 before getting the 993TT and the one thing we both noticed that we did not like was the really light clutch and the almost too easy steering. But once you get underway you immediately forget about these little foibles as the scenery starts to blur by.

 

Weissach,
Thanks for the great post!
Post like this always make me think twice about swapping into a gt3

rob,
I too think that the TT has a light (more so numb) steering.
Perhaps its easy to confuse overassisted with the steering being light.
IMO, the c2 has a superb steering feel that exceeds the tt's feel.
i wish the tt would have that level of feel as the c2, however...
it would be exceedingly tough to put 400hp to the floor without the awd system.

cheers to all
