These latest 911s are crazy fast, they really leap frogged in terms of acceleration

Yeah. Then it gets beat by the even faster E63 S. I am impressed by this particular Merc, but if I could, I would still get the P car for RWD.

I imagine it is frustrating to drive these cars on the street, they just can't be driven wot but for a couple of seconds before you're just risking getting a ticket.

True that! I wonder if its power is underrated too since on paper, the GTS has a much higher power to weight ratio... approx. .141 vs. .129 for the AMG.

good point, but it is likely awd advantage at launch.

This. Crazy, back when I had my e90 no Porsche aside from Turbos/GT’s would pull away like that. I still remember right after my 1,200 mile service running into a 997.1 4S and being equal/creeping on a couple of short pulls, and the owner didn’t seem happy with a sedan pulling on him. Porsche has seriously progressed in this area to match their price premiums.

I would like to think I helped by posting about not being interested the 981 and 991 due to them being too slow in a straight line for the price

Forced induction . . . Next stop electric.

Rear engine AWD, PDK and torquey turbo..

Pretty much expected with a crazy launch

Would like to see a roll race

actually, they're both dual clutches, turbos and RWD (not AWD). the difference is only in the rear engine layout and much bigger tires. the Porsche got a better jump off the line as a result of the rear engine, but it also continued to pull throughout.

the e63S was a different story, where it got an impressive jump because of the AWD, but the GTS was reeling it in before the end of the race (and therefore reached a higher speed)

Yes I know that they are both turbocharged and have double clutch

.. But, seriously thought 911 GTS models were AWD

Nevermind the roll race then

That thing moves
