I'm told that someone I know had a brief encounter and flat out kill with what appeared to be a 1993, 1994 or 1995, 1996, 1997 not sure exactly what year but def a 90's air cooled Porsche twin turbo according to the badging. It was silver in color & was reported to be lowered as well as very dirty. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The beast driver reported that he engaged in a spirited romp over a bridge and was able to out maneuver the Porsche over the stretch in each drivers quest to reach the same exit first, supposedly the beast driver had the 993 TT by 3 car lengths but this was not because the beast was that much faster, mostly because the 993 TT driver had chosen inferior lanes and was caught in traffic . <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Questions:<o:p></o:p>
A) how would the Audi RS6 stack up to a 1993, 1994 or 1995, 1996, 1997 993 TT in a track environment?<o:p></o:p>
B) Does the 1993, 1994 or 1995, 1996, 1997 993 TT have AWD (BC the encounter happened on wet roads I'm told ;)<o:p></o:p>

996TT / 997TT are strong on the track, alot had to do with the driver as well.

I've been able to keep up with a few of the above at Motorsports Ranch, Eagles Canyon, and even Texas Motor Speedway.. in track set up. The P-cars are fast and with a good driver, even the GT3's will walk away from us in the turns! Displacement helps in the tight sections though!

Here's a Sportec 997TT and I coming off turn 4 at TMS, crossing the Start Finish line at 157mph
