AutoBild: 997 GT3 vs 9ff Cayman 420Hp 4.1L
Pretty good test,
Both cars were running Michelin Pilot Sport Cups. The front end on the GT3 gets jerky on bumpy roads. This is not a surprise, as the 996 GT3 RS suffered from the same. Even though the Cayman is faster around the track, they prefer the GT3. They had problems trying to put the power down with the Cayman (the beauty on a 911).
At a glance:
9ff Cayman 4.1L
Weight: 3110 lbs
Engine: 4.1L based on the 3.8L Carrera S
Power: 420Hp
0-100mph: 9.6 secs
1/4 mile: 12.94 secs
Lap Time: 1.43:59
2007 911 GT3
Weight: 3220 lbs (without sunroof)
Engine: 3.6.L
Power: 415Hp
0-100mph: 9.0 secs (0.2 secs faster than the 996 GT3)
1/4 mile: 12.20 sec (same or slower than the 996 GT3)
Lap Time: 1.44:14
