Btw I have outrun two 997 TT on the autobahn during normal "at speed" acceleration comparisons. These occur when a slower car won't get over quickly enough and both cars bunch up in a line in the left lane. When the car clears it begins.

The first one the guy took forever but finally got out of the way (my girlfriend maintained the entire rest of the trip that he was just an old man.) The second was a spirited run from Aschaffenburg incline to Würzburg on twisties, and when after two or three acceleration romps where it was obvious that the M3 was faster, the Porsche got over and followed me. This was a huge surprise. I knew the M3 was fast, but faster than the 997 TT!? We stuck together and finally all four of us waved as I got off for gas - I had not tanked up before leaving Wiesbaden.


Is it bed time? Because, it's certainly story time.
