That is 40 years of revolution and evolution, what other vehicle has that family line?
No wonder it is the best.

Not all on the same day. Obviously the GT3 RS is a completely different kettle of fish, but the STi holds up quite well in these figures.

Maybe Gary was just having a bad day
The 997 S is very quick car - as fast as the 996 GT3.
My own experience at Bedford - indeed I still have the videos - of running a Classic with 330bhp was to only be passed by a 996TT and a 993 RS kept pace with me. Does that make me faster - no - it makes the majority of the 911 drivers probably not quite as good as their cars. You can still drive badly in a Scoob and go fast.
Steve - go to see Don Palmer - you will not regret it for a moment. He says the majority of GT3 RSs have been to see him over the past year!

Its ok putting a quick lap in but no damned good if you can only do 3 laps before things start to fail (In standard form)
Oh and as for the 997 driving away from me, I did have some balast sat next to me, take a bow davyboy
Was it an 'S'? can you remember?Gary

........we were going downhill the balast would have helped
While a Subaru might do somethings better than a Porsche, it's the fact the Porsche is good at everything that makes it so special.

Should add, that as a hill climber in an old 911 for 10 years, they are bloody hard to drive fast and get a good time.
The Impreza is just so easy in comparison.
Get a 911 flowing and all is right with the world, pity you have to take to the track to reach that 'level'
Question:
Do you think Don Palmer could teach about hill climb contol rather than track day control?

Give him a call and see what he says. He does coach a lot of very good people and companies including the test drivers for a rather famous sports car marque!!
