I was looking at my Autocross classifications for PCA here in New Jersey and noticed that the standard 996 Turbo has been bumped down from the GT2 and GT3 presumably due to turbo Lag (although I wish they had done that for all those STI's in my Boxster S class).
What's your take on throttle response vs. GT2 and GT3?

p.s. I REALLY wish Porsche had used those 996 TT headlights in the new Boxster instead of using the Japanese look 997 lights.

Not to defend the 996 Turbo but I have say that can't be the reason. The GT2 suffers from lag way worse than the standard turbo. I hate K24s... they truly suck. You can get almost as much power from K16s as K24s anyways. The other thing to do is to use hybrid turbos with K16 hot sides for quick spool.

So my take on those three are in stock form:

GT2 lags the most, TT lags less and the GT3 (having the same motor) has an initial bite (most responsive) but none of the top end. In an AutoX with any of those cars however you can always rev match

Yeps.. and also in European Car last year... Sadly this year I only had one turbo and a blown MAF (hence no ABS).
