2008 Porsche 997 Carrera S (2008 facelift)

next carrera s is said to be getting 421ps (autocar)

combine it with PDK &sport+ and my estimations would be

Max speed 310 km/h
0-100 km/h 3.7 seconds
0-160 km/h 7.9 seconds
0-200 km/h 12.1 seconds
0-300 km/h 48.6 seconds (better Aerodynamic's)
Quarter mile 11.5 seconds

and as usual they will be claiming a conservative 4.1 seconds to 62mph (for pdk with sport+)when the car first hit the show..

BUT being light as a 09 gt3 (1370kg) & only 14ps down the 2011 carrera s with PDK combined with SPORT+ will smoke the 09 gt3 in strait line..

Id take a second hand 2004 GT3.

id rather take a second hand 09 gt3 than this

Interesting that this car with Steve Sutcliffe at the wheel was slower around Millbrook than a 2.9 basic Porsche Boxter with Jason Plato at the wheel! Plato is a professional driver but Sutcliffe is pretty handy, so it just shows that you cant use the extra power on a winding circuit - Millbrook is a good approximation of an english b road..

If you cant afford it, and you want a Porsche, this will have too do.

i think if i want a real fun car to drive id be more happier with a gt3

The Porsche 911 is far more enjoyable to drive than the Nissan GTR. Hell the Porsche Cayman is more fun to drive. The G37?? LMFAO!!!!!!!! I think I'd have more fun playing PS3 vs. driving a GTR. It's a freakin none driver involvement, robotic, passionless, driving appliance that makes grandma look like a hero. No thanks! Porsche all the way!!!

better acceleration numbers

fastest laps also have the acceleration numbers in that comparison..

WOW:O i a G37 over this?? are you serious? G37 is a very nice car, but nothing compared to this. and sorry dude, but are you serious too? this over a GT-R? Dont Think So.

lol a g37 over a 911? seriously i can understand choosing the gt-r if you dont care about involvement much but a g37 just isnt even close.

Nissan rules the japanese manufacterers with engineering that surpasses most european companies as well. I think i would take a G37s over this porsche but its a good effort.

best ever you mean

if you looking for an old engine your gonna need an old car

best new engine in a new car

maybe the best NEW engine. but certilny not THE best.

it is not a theory
some pro are doing some serious tests and there giving some precised results they came up with it is the best new engine.

wouldnt say that, good engine, but wouldnt say its the best.

and the best

same engine as the last 40 years lol

this car win the best new engine with 22 pionts ahead

here is an other prove

youtube.com/watch?v=I1gb26rsFHE

no special driving just hit the gas till the car do 11.7 1/4mile

dont believe that 1/4 mile time.

you can't find any road legal car with more than 1425kg and less than 380hp doing 1/4mile in 11.7s + has a top speed over 300 km/h

porsche own the best engineers ever
