I'm not saying it can't happen, just that it's very improbable.

As for laptime comparisions, same driver is no big deal when you consider weather and track conditions. I personally think Sportauto times are worth something, but also would like to know what the car is really capable of, and you can be sure the various factories ain't done with the 'Ring until they think they've gotten pretty much everything out of the car.

I can get "best times" elsewhere, but it would be nice to see them here for convenience, especially since the zero-to times quote more than one source.

Bruce

you can pretend you are some big hotshot but comparing factory times with other times are utterly pointless. No one can profe that the factory did it or not so they have nothing to lose to exaggerate their numbers.
Same driver is crucial and there is no excuses to dis it.
Unfortuanly people/fans will use the laptime that is the best for their favorite car.

Best regards, south

there is a reason why BMW took the laptime away from the website and if someone erase it, then its not an official time anymore.

I would caveat that this is for easily verifiable information. Drug companies maximize profits by suppressing negative data for as long as they can -- ie study 1 says drug works, study 2 says it causes extreme flatulence and doesn't work all that well, we never hear about study 2. Usually the profits from a successful drug will outweigh R&D costs & costs of the eventual class-action settlement when everybody who takes the drug gets flatulence and then they all sue.

This is why you hear all the time about design flaws of various devices, etc. that were discovered during testing but never dealt with until the sample size when sold to consumers reached a point where it was obvious there was a flaw.

I was only in middle management (now retired), but you don't have to go very high to realize how important reputation is.

There will always be witnesses at the 'Ring.

Same driver is fine (and of course I never put that down), but if you want to find out what an ultimate (or close to ultimate) performance at the 'Ring is, having Sportauto do it just won't cut it, for reasons already mentioned.

I take your point, but 'Ring times are pretty easy to verify, inasmuch as there are people around. Note how the 8:03s came out the back door, so to speak - and quickly.

Let me repeat myself I do not trust factory times. No one can prove what they did or not did.
Sportauto is the only way to go if you want to compare laptimes with other cars, reasons already mentioned.

Obviously, Sportautos times are not comparable, but of course, they're not without value.

You seem to have an either/or attitude, which is unfortunate.

In any event, we'll agree to disagree, I guess..

do you have a link to a scan of that article? I couldn't find the article you speak of, but i did find this road and track article from August 2004, where they tested the 2005 997 Carrera S and got a 0-100km/h of 4.8 seconds: link to article

correction, I found another article from road and track that states a 4.4 0-60mph time (0-60mph is slightly shorter than 0-100km/h). that article can be found here: article
hmm in that same article they make mention that the 997 911 Carrera S pulled a 12.8@110.2mph in the 1/4 mile.

Feel free (please do!) to correct and edit away on the information there. If you have actual copies of those mags and the numbers go for it! devo is not above reproach nor correction in his zeal for P cars.

BTW the 3.9 number sounded a bit too good to be true...

I may have recorded the source of the info. incorrectly, but, nonetheless, I know that the 911S ran a 3.9 sec. 0-60. In all fairness, you should delete it, if I was incorrect. I will try to find the source at another time. It could have been Motor Trend, but I can't recall right now. Sorry, I may love P-cars, but I don't want incorrect data listed.

[devo]

I found the article in Road and Track, dated 05-March-2005, the article was titled 'Best All Around Sports Car'. The Carrera S Coupe ran 3.9 secs. 0-60 and 12.3 in the quarter mile. They had previously tested another Carrera S and achieved slower times. It is what it is.

not to sound like a prick, but can you scan or take a picture of the article? those numbers just seem way off from what they previously achieved with the same car and what i thought would be conceivable for it.

I found it on the Rennteam forum, dated Jan 2006. The originator of the post was 'Silverrules'. It was a comparison of numerous sports cars. The C6 vette placed 1st, the Boxster S second, and the 997S third, etc...

The terminal speed in the quarter mile was 114.8 mph.

I am unable to attach a link.

These numbers were so extraordinary that we took the car to MD Automotive in Westminster, California, to measure the Carrera S’s output on the dynamometer. No steroid controversy here, the car came away clean. The only explanation for the difference in acceleration times is that this particular engine had a proper break-in period (it had 5400 miles on the odometer as opposed to the 1200 miles on our previous test car).

Thanks for finding it.

I will say that Porsche's really seem to come alive after 5000 or so miles; more so than other HP cars that I have owned.

[swamp2]

jworms: Do add the other 911 and/or 911S figures you have found. The 3.9 figure is clearly an outlier and should be balanced by more reasonable figures obtained by other publications. It is valuable to know about these outliers but not as valuable as knowing the distribution.

997s doing 0-60 in 3.9 seconds soon we'll here the GT3 does 0-60 in 3.2!! that's insane. there is noway the 997s does 0-60 in 3.9 when the GT3 several times from several mags has been quoted as having 3.7 to 4.3 sec!! and it weighs less and has more power than the damn 997s!! and I'm a porsche fanboi!! GT3 RS is my dream car.

Devo that time is wrong and if you really a porsche fan you would know that deep down. the damn car has 355hp compared to a GT3 which has 409hp are you telling me that a car that is heavier and has less power can match the same times? Not trying to call you out just asking whether you believe in the laws of physics or not? The only people to post those times were road & track, again not a personal attack just that I ususally throw out funny times I read in Magazines like the M5 doing 0-60 in 4.4 the manual not even SMG!! I smell BS

this is all for the GT3
from wiki "The factory claims a top speed of 193 mph (311 km/h) and a 0-60 time of about 4 seconds"
from PorscheUSA 0-60 4 secs.
from Motortrend 3.7
from Edmunds 4.0
from supercars.net 4.1
