That’s the one. I do see now the STO letters on the side. It was spanking new fresh out the box too.

i'd give it a run....in the rcf's younger brother. always an event with those; pulling a lot of attention. i'm more of an 'under the radar' person myself. beautiful car though.

The Lamb might be a big fish, but your 911 TTS is the apex predator.

Cook? Naw, it's barely faster around the track. 0-60 it gets embarrassed, badly.

i won't get into the debate...but the context was on street in terms of a run.

i will agree that there is always bigger fish. it's kinda funny. when im driving the fuji everyone wants to pick a fight and have a go, prob b/c they're confident they can take it. when driving the tts, no one picks a fight, most just follow for a bit, like a wingman and take pictures. even some of the lambo's. lol. P cars being dubbed the rolex of cars these days...i'll take it.

Like I said, on the street, the TTS destroys absolutely everything, including the STO. It's no surprise you're given a wide berth...

nah, plenty of cars have higher trap speeds in the quarter mile, pista traps at 144, 720S traps at 148....on a high pull these cars would gap a 992 tts.

UGH. Dude, again, we're talking about on the street performance. You see a lot of quarter mile street races? Heck, even my lowly 992 GTS is neck and neck 0-60 with both the 720S and the Pista...

Some friendly advice: Stay away from the words "always" and "never." Respectfully, I don't think you own a supercar. If you did, you'd know that folks that run in that circle very rarely engage in quarter mile runs on the street. Think short bursts at best. Going to jail speeds come very quickly, and we have a lot to lose. In any event, it's a fun discussion and I hope to add a Huracan to the garage at some point. Cheers.

friendly advice dont assume what cars people own, Ive owned an AMG GTR and 2nd gen Audri R8 V10 plus and....ive run them on the highway approaching speeds of 160+ MPH. Hell Ive brought my RCF up to 140 MPH. So anyway, plenty of cars would cook a 992 tts on a highway pull.
