My Porsche rides like a wagon in comparison and the road noise is ridiculous. Go drive a 991 of any flavor and then compare it to a 997 of any flavor and you'll see, technology prevails. Anyone who doesn't want to admit this is only fooling themselves. Guaranteed my next car will be either be a newer 991 TTS or a completely different brand of car.

Those are nice numbers Saabin!!
Where'd you get the 60-90 and 60-130 times in your table? from another source?
I've never measured 60-90, only 60-100mph ,100-200kph and 60-130mph.
My UMW tuned 997.1 6MT with gt2rs coolers, exhaust, and do88 pipes did a 3.2 60-100 & a 6.6 100-200, both vboxed. Also did a 7.4 60-130, although I didn't have the SD card in the vbox for that run..
The PDK really makes a difference once you get to anything with a greater start/end delta of 60mph..

Take away speed from the comparison... 991 is faster period! But, I came from a C7 Corvette. I know this may sound like a stretch, but it's not... the C7 was waaaaay nicer than my 2011 TTS.

I come from vintage vettes and now vintage 911 porsches, so the interior of a 997 is something i enjoy for the size and gauge lay out.
As far as the wagon comparison, id take the pepsi challenge on a 997 TTS to a C7 on the skid pad any day of the week. Rain or shine.

Ummmm No! The new corvette is nice but not to the level of quality on the interior parts etc. it may ride better, but that's it. I see plastic everywhere.

The 997 has its charm however. Size being one of them.
The 997 is a much more advanced car to the 993TT, but does that make the 997 "superior"?
Id take a 993TT over the 991 and 997.

the plastics sourced in the vette are the same as the silverado truck series.
Chevrolet is getting better however.
give each vehicle 80k miles and see which interior feels plastic.
