I am aware it seems as if 0-60 on a S is 4.6 and none S is 4.8..... just curious if the gap shrinks of gets wider in mid range speeds, lets say 25-80 or 55-100 range.... again I am just curious is all if any accurate videos exist.

Thanks

Go to the Porsche website, look at the 911 S, under gallery, then click on films. Check out "split seconds" film.

There's also a drag race on the Carrera Invasion video. I think Coochas has the clip on his website.

coochas has alot of good videos of those japanese teams with the base car and the S.

Only a .2 sec differance? I thought that there would be more. This doesn't even meet R&T's threshold for a significant differance for 0/60.

While Porsche officially claims a .2 sec difference, I believe (without doublechecking) that the major publications have achieved a wider variance. One of them pulled off a 3.9 in a stock 997s. I have not seen a test of a base 997 where it beat mid-4s.

in the trade mags is 4.6 for S and 4.8 for non S but who know how accurate that is...

I've seen 997s as low as 4.1 (where was the 3.9??) and the 997 base as low as 4.3. Where the difference seems to show itself is in 0-100 and 1/4-mile times, where the 997s starts to pull away.
