    The difference between the 997 and the 992 was mind blowing, nearly 10.5 seconds on a roughly minute and a half lap. I think we definitely need more of these comparos of 10-20 year old cars vs their modern counter parts. Heck, you could even run an NC vs ND Miata, would probably be interesting, or M5's, Boxters, WRX's, Audi S3/4. This was good stuff.

    Years ago my first Turbo experience was in a 997 Turbo. Was so impressed by power and ceramic brakes. It wasn’t a sportscar. It felt like a hypercar. It blew my mind. Especially the braking.
    Recently drove the 992 Turbo on German autobahn. So easy to drive. And so fast. Mindblowing. And the best thing: all German cars make room for you on the left lane! So decent. So nice. As if they have learned that at birth: when Turbo is coming. We make some room. German society should be proud of what they are capable to build!

    As an owner of a 997.1T (tip) and 991.2TS, there is no doubt a massive diff in performance in generations. However, I suspect a significant part of the lap time diff (2 sec?) is attributable to stick v PDK in this comparo.

    • @ScottGroome

    Really enjoyed this video but I’d like to wave the flag for the 997.
    To be precise it was a 992.2 Turbo S PDK vs 997.2 Turbo manual.
    The 997.2 Turbo S has over 30bhp more than the Turbo, and also has more torque.
    I couldn’t quite tell, but I suspect the 992 did a launch-controlled start whereas the manual Turbo doesn’t have this.
    I’m not saying that it would be neck-and-neck, but perhaps the gap between the two wouldn’t have been so dramatic if the 997 was similarly spec’d to the 992.
    Or perhaps I’m just defending my own 997.2 Turbo S PDK 🤣

    OK - the best comparison will be tyres. Get a set of P-Zero Trofero vs Corsa on identical cars or PS4 vs Cup tyres. This will show a HUGE difference. A lot of the advances in lap time are from the huge leap in tyre tech

    test drove the new 992 turbo recently. its obviously fast but soft and still has some lag. Definitely more of an old mans, dare I say borderline more of a luxury car than a supercar/sportscar.... Was very happy to hop back into my 997 turbo manual. With a 1k tune, it feels near as makes no difference as fast as the 992 but much more raw and the right size.

    I think even if i didn't see, it was a DriveTribe video and just saw Ben driving the 992 without knowing who it was driving... I think i'd guess it was him from the driving style and presence he gives on track
