We can quibble over adjectives if you'd like, but the 997 with a PDK is the quickest 0-60 normally aspirated 911 ever produced. If you'd pull your head out of your turbocharger you'd realize we're not comparing NA with forced induction.

Do you have a mouse in your pants or are you just excited to be talking about the fastest normally aspirated 911 ever produced?
Yes, some people are easily impressed and distracted......oh, look a butterfly.....

Oh, and you might want to save time by not bothering to post videos directed at me, 'cause I won't bother. That way you'll have that much more time to do research and get up to speed on various Porsche induction systems and models. No, no - you don't have to thank me.

Turbocharger(s), 2, plural.....hence the 996TT (twin turbo).

You can tow sailplanes with them, and some folks use them for bush work with tundra tires. They can dust crops, I've done SAR work with one (the high wing affords excellent downward visibility when you're trying to locate subjects on the ground and the aircraft has a low stall speed even without flaps), and they've been the primary aerobatic trainer for many of the best aerobatic pilots in the U.S. Of course for our purposes the operative performance envelope revolves around the +5/-2 and your need for a diaper and barf bag when we start exploring the + side of that equation. You can remember back that far, yes?

Since this was my thread... and since it is Christmas Day... can I say,
"Let's not bicker about who killed who.... or aspirated or non.. or barfing..."
and let's just say:
Merry Christmas.. if you own any Porsche.. you're having a great year.
