Good thread... the 991 Carreras, 997/991 Turbo/GT3 will spank the F. Base model 997 Carreras are slow. Cayman S or R would win around turns but F has it in a straight line. Not sure about the others.

My brother has a 997TT. It has a flash and an exhaust now, but it would have been fun to run him if he was stock just for kicks. They are supposed to trap ~122mph in stock form.

almost any porsche will own an F on a road course. high end 911s and the hyper cars will take it in the straights

Funny that this thread just popped up. My buddy literally picked up a Cayman this morning and was asking if his Cayman could take my F. He got the smaller motor in the base Cayman so I am pretty sure I will dust him

New Cayman S is good for 12.7 1/4 so i'm thinking the base is probably a 13-13.5 car. ISF should take it in a straight line.

My 996TT spanks the F handily.

Not too sure about road courses but in straight lines I'm pretty sure a Panamera 4S/Turbo (excluding the Executive model), almost any 911 (excluding the Cabriolet/4 Cabriolet, Macan Turbo (excluding S model), and the Cayenne Turbo or Turbo S (excluding all other models). Again, this is only based on paper times. Some models come very close in times with the F and with times that close, that will come to the driver skill.

I have personally ran against a Boxer S, Cayman, a 2002 Carrera, and I beat those models in a straight line. For fun, I went against a 911 Turbo, and that thing dusted me like I was standing still.... I knew he would, never did I think I had a chance but I didn't care.... Was amazing to hear the sound of that car as it blew past me!!!

I think in road courses, most Porsches would win. They handle very well and you can push them quite easily...

Any 997/991 GT and Turbo model will take the ISF in a straight line.. almost all Porsches should be able to out handle the ISF but depending on their HP is when they can out take the ISF on a road course.

This is based on same driving skill for both cars.

I ran against a 997 S on the freeway the last week and would say it was about dead even. Came down to who was dumber. He won.

We were both laughing at the Evo in our mirrors.


Quick Reply: Which porsche models is the IS-F faster than?
