After the Storm, a Masterpiece of Speed
Two important things surfaced regarding the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo after two days in Portugal. First, and this might be an obvious one, the health of the tires — especially the rears — contributes to or detracts immensely from the performance of the car when pushed to its absolute limits. If the tires are shot, the Turbo can make you feel heroic in one moment and moronic the next.
Second, Porsche has once again built the ultimate everyday supercar. Our meandering trips to and from the racetrack on assorted A and B roads proved the seat comfort, suspension tuning, PDK transmission programming and updated navigation system were better suited to a daily slog than a brittle Nissan GT-R, a loud and flamboyant Lamborghini Gallardo or even a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The only car that might be as well rounded a supercar would be Audi R8 5.2 FSI, but try to take Ironman's car to the Gas 'n Sip without drawing a crowd.
In other words, The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo is everything we expected it to be and more: more comfortable, more powerful, more capable, more fuel-efficient and only a little more expensive. Sometimes, a Perfect Storm arrives at just the right time. Long may it reign.
The manufacturer provided Edmunds this vehicle for the purposes of evaluation.

I've always admired 911 turbo's. I'd take the 6spd in a heartbeat.

I want to see 2 things out of this car stat wise.... what it can do in a 1/4 ( 911's of the past few yrs have become sick drag cars) and what it can do on the ring.

What did the previous years run stock?

The 911 turbo has always been one of my favorite cars.

i think the 997 was a high 11 sec car or a decent mid 11 sec car if launched hard enough stock. and it might have run 7:4? around the ring.
