997 Turbo gearing
The 997 Turbo and the 996 Turbo both have the same 1st gear gearing, but the 997 Turbo makes it's maximum torque (457 lb-ft) at just under 2000 rpm.
Given how fast the 996 Turbo gets though 1st gear, what will the 997 Turbo be like?

It should equate to about 3 mph.

Because of the wheel size difference? Or does the 997 Turbo have a different red line?

The 997 redlines at a bit over 7000 rpm. The torque and gearing give it the extra push in quickness.
