1.03 g and 98 ft 60-0! holy hell.. One thing we can thank the GTR for is that it woke Porsche up BIG time and Porsche's coming back with a vengeance! Just for starters... This base Carrera S is as fast around the Nurburgring 7min40sec, 0-60mph, and quarter mile as last years 911 GT3 RS!!!!! Amazing. I can't wait to see what this car does in GT3 and Turbo S Form. Porsche is on a mission and I admire them for always pursuing excellence.

Not bad at all. Porsche did their homework! However, I'd appreciate if edmunds would include a dynorun of all tested cars. I already know some mags which perform dynos and sometimes it's quite interesting to see, how much more (or less) hp some cars produce.. Furthermore, you'll find less factory "prepared" cars (not related to the 911 above, just in general).

cant wait for the gt2rs of this fucking car

[stupidlambo]

Im a gtr fanboy, but even i cant deny the prediction that the turbo version of the 991 will fuck the gtr in the ass.

@sspope interesting point you make about the 991 easier to drive for bad drivers. I'm an enthusiast.I drive my 997 C4S hard.The 997 may be the last true rear engined feeling 911.There is joy in learning to "tame" the 911.It takes skill,patience,&practice. BUT, when a great driver like Walter Rohl matches his 997 GT3 w/ sport cup tires Nurburgring lap times in the BASE 991 Carrera S w/o cup tires.Wow, I think thats a big deal. Even if it may feel/look less like a tradtional 911. jmho ;^)

@qikqbn77 Failpherson sucks

[sspope]

@qikqbn77 No, I don't think that this is a BIG improvement. It's certainly more refined, but what they've basically done is that by moving the center of gravity further in the middle, they just made it easier to drive for bad drivers which is not something a 911 enthusiast likes to hear. Oh, and they gave it these HUGE wheels => more rubber on pavement => more gripre. Not a big deal, though. The slalom speed is pathetic and prove that there are not any major improvements to chassis.

sounds more like the murcielago sv then a 911 carrera

[BrantFortunate]

carbon ceramic brakes, or standard brakes on this particular car?

Revs Up if you think 2013 911 Turbo PDK will BEAT the 2012 GT-R !!!
