996 Turbo vs 997S PDK

The 996TT had a bad start and could never catch the PDK

Impressive as it is, these cars are not for drag racing.

Mark, not to stroke your ego, but some of this is due to your skill as well.

You are 4 seconds faster then another Boxster and 8 seconds faster then a Cooper S with the JCW.

Well done.

Well, Ok there was some drivers skill involved but the Jeff J listed in the results got 2nd place in AS at Nats last year and the other Boxster is my wife, who matched my speed everywhere except the pivot cones. My point is that the Boxster loses in a drag race but it's amazing balance wins out when you throw in some twisties. Check out the videos:
Mark's quickest (without cones) Saturday run, check out the speed through the transitions going north:

Briget's quickest Saturday run, see how she is faster than me in sections:

Mark's quickest (without cones)Sunday run:

The equipment is as important as the driver, especially when a car is not driven in a straight line.
