The silver 996 which I am passing in the first lap has a tuned suspension with PSS9 and Michelin Sport Cups, my 986S is stock with Kumho Victoracer V700 and a lower stress bar. No idea about the 996 Cabrio which I am passing in the 2nd lap though

Happy Boxstering

Awesome. Nothing beats stock suspension + R compounds + great driving skills.

Great driving in that clip. As to the OP's question, a 996 should certainly have more shove in a straight line, but I absolutely agree that the 986 is a more balanced platform.

In my case, the only way I'd "upgrade" to a 996 would be to a Turbo or GT3. Even then, I think I'd still prefer to drop a 3.6 into my S and keep the mid engine platform.
