I wonder how the 7-Generation cars were specced? I'd imagine PASM & tyres can make all the difference. The 996 Pram version must be heavier than the World!
Mind you, the GT2 shows what differecne a bit of track-optimisation makes!

[QUOTE=chilled,May 23 2007, 02:09 PM] comparing a 2002 996 Carrera with the S, the S really stands up well. The S is first column. It's quicker through some corners. I didn't realise that the porker really was a porker 1450kg ish.

Only if driven properly, nearly rear ended a GT2 on track who apparently doesn't know where his accelerator pedal is. Any idiot should be able to mash their right foot in a straight line. It SHOULD have left me for dust, as it was I had to back off.

Where's that Best Motoring clip where the S is all over the M3 and leaves the Boxter for dead?
