Probably one of my favorite track moments ever, rain was insane but someone left the Skip Barber skid pad open..... so we all went and drifted for an hour or two before they finally kicked us out (yes that.s a PTS 4.0 with a paper plate.....)
JP's Maritime 4.0 paper plated, little did we know at time how cool this thing really was.
Hoosier and rain, hurry up and wait.
The day I finally got one, just as the DE Cup was ending.
PS Driving your 991 Touring has really ruined me as well..... one day.
Why do you like 991 more on track and prefer 997 for street?
on track, fast is all I care. 991 faster and also warranty
on street I like to FEEL FAST. 991 very smooth, feels on speed. I have occaisonly caught myself going 150 without knowing and continue to accelerate b/c I can't feel the speed. 997 you feel it at 70

cars brought experience and friendship. that is way more valuable the car itself.
did I just say that?
clearly I am 68 yo then
From a pure performance standpoint (not value at all), do you wish you still had a 4.0 compared to your current .1/.2 991’s? I understand it was really good, even compared to the 3.8 with all the cushy bits they threw at it along with the cup motor parts.
It's just such a diff car; it's hard to compare a 991 to 997 gt imo. They are different animals. If you can manage both, they offer much different experiences but one isn't much of a substitute for the other imo.

As far as performance is concerned, the 991s have a lot more than the 997s. No question about that and they are much easier to drive very quickly as well. The 7s offer a different driving experience as noted above but raw pace definitely isn't going to be in the favour of the older car.

Darn...even against the 991.1rs? I don’t want to go into too much, but PDK aside.....Aero and rear wheel steer are about the biggest differences for speed/handling right?
Afterall, I hear how much of pain it was on track compared to the .2. Anyway, it’s fun rowing gears. I’m an underdog kind of guy....
