I'll let one of the magazines take that one on. What I was comparing was 987 to 981, which is the move Tucker is making.

The CS driver in this video was getting used to the car (1st time driving it on the track). He said he shifted to Sport + half way thru the run and there was no staying with him on the straight after that. He was taking it easy thru the corners, so I was able to somewhat stay near. But 6500 redline & 303HP in my 987 vs 9K & 325HP in his 981 + PDK + all the new electronics is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Technology marches on.
