1.) The GT3 is as good or better in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times
2.) The GT3 weighs less
3.) The GT3 has slightly better brakes
BTW how can an S7 and a murcielago loose to not just an '03 911 turbo but also to a 96 911 turbo? That makes no sense at all. What's wrong with teh brakes on a murcielago? I thought it had exceelent 8 piston brembo brakes?

HP rules acceleration tests and the 996TT has 450 vs the 380 of the GT3. Add to that the grip off the line with an abusive launch and the thing will run like a scalded ape. Same for the 993TT (I think it was a tuner car= big hp).

The car had the X50 package. I am sure they just rounded up for the test.
Again you have to test on the same day, under the same conditions for any results to be meaningful.

996 Turbo: 420 HP DIN / 414.12 BHP SAE
996 Turbo X50: 450 HP DIN / 443.7 BHP SAE
1 HP DIN = 0.986 BHP SAE

Turbo 996s are heavy.
Take a GT3, add wide body, add two turbochargers and two intecoolers, add AWD, add sunroof, add sound system with amplifier and 10 speakers, add cruise control, add motorized spoiler, add rear seats, etc..
They are around 400lbs heavier than a GT3.
In the same test day, a GT3 will stop faster than a Turbo: bigger brakes, lighter weight, wider tires.

Where is the GT2 in all this? Shouldn't it have been in that test? Anyone got a 0-100-0 number for a GT3 or GT2?

Weight plays a smaller role once the cars are under way. HP is king. The X50's close to 70hp difference and AWD launch will come out ahead, IMO. Wouldn't surprise me if the TT were dead even with the GT2 due to the launch. Remember this is only up to 100mph and back down.
It would be a fun excercise but I know that if I owned the TT I wouldn't want it to be driven that hard as it would be very hard on the drivetrain.
Also remember the GT3 is geared taller than a TT is.

Why would they gear the GT3 taller than the TT when they both have the same top speed (actually i think the TT's top speed is 2 mph faster)?
Dynos have shown the TT X50 does NOT have close 70 horsepower on the GT3. I believe the regular TT rated at 415 horsepower dynos about the same or a little less.

Look at the gearing charts for each. The GT3 is taller in the lower gears. Remember, this is only up to 100mph.
Even if the hp were the same, the launch would be the deciding factor.

Ok I admit loss on this debate now
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...he/index1.html
I still think it will beat the non x50 and for numbers like that I think the x50 is good for more than 450 hp

From looking at the charts I imagine that the 993TT has an explosive delivery with all the umph coming in at much lower rpms. The GT3 looks to have a really even spread of torque into power over the range, and it describes visually what I feel the motor delivers.
How can you compare the feel of the two motors on the road?
Did the TT feel like it was much stronger?
Does the free spinning and wide powerband of the GT engine give more of a visceral and 'connected' feel?
