It's not because the 370hp rating is accurate, regardless of whether some dyno somewhere said it made 400whp.

For what it's worth, a 404whp rating would infer a ~440-460 crank hp rating. PDK is an excellent dual clutch transmission. A comparable Porsche would be a 997.1 turbo which claimed 480hp, had an older transmission (5 speed auto), and weighed 300 pounds more. That car did ~11.6 quarter mile time trapping 118mph. If the Carrera T, with PDK, weighed 3250 pounds and offered 440+ crank HP you'd be seeing trap speeds above 120mph very consistently. You aren't, because a Carrera T isn't making ~440 crank hp.
I haven't seen a Carrera T PDK perform a 1/4 mile test have you?

I have the .2 Carrera which has exact engine and turbos w the T. I understand dynos could be varried but not by 50whp lol. No way the T is making 404whp!

IMO the 997 is a lot more fun to drive than the 991. I traded in my 997 C4S for a 991 GTS and the extra real estate changes the feel. Is the 991 weight distribution better? Yes. Is it faster? Yes. Quieter? Yes.

I think that like the 993 being looked at fondly for being the last of the air-cooled 911's the 997.2 will be looked at as the last of the small, tight 911's. Only time will tell.

It's hard to overlook the utility of an M3/M4. If I had to make a choice.
