[QUOTE="Dave07997S, post: 4873808, member: 10915"] Agreed the Pcar is a better car, but it should be at almost twice the price..the Shelby really is a bargain...if you can get one. Dave here is a road test summary on Pcars from 993-997 including GT3's and Turbos. Look at the 997 3.8, Road and Track ran a 3.9 0-60 and the 1/4 mile in 12.3 @114.8mph. A lot of people felt the car was a ringer, but there were several other tests which had 0-60 in 4.1 and 12.6 @ 112mph. These things are choked off at the factory..the headers and mufflers are a joke on this thing. A guy on 6speedonline ran a 12.7@111mph with a 2.1 60 ft. time when 1.7-1.8 should be a no brainer in these cars with the motors over the rear wheels and 295 rubber. A properly running Shelby would definitely beat a 997S, but the driver better know what he is doing. It is so easy to launch these cars with all that weight and rubber in the back.
