Default Carrera GT / 997 GT3 / vs C6 Vid

The last one that was unexpected was the 996 GT3 to whip the C6 like it did.

Is that the KA warning going off? Man ...

C6 looked to be catching up to the GT3.

To be honest, all that really shows is gearing. Perhaps the GT3 is agressively geared to accelerate in that 70- 120 mph zone or maybe the C6 had to shift an extra time, maybe the C6 was an automatic. Either way, I'd be willing to bet you could find a 50 mph zone where the C6 would pull on the GT3 as well. The C6 and the 996 GT3 are a good match against each other, acceleration wise.

You could definately tell the C6 was an automatic! It would be better if it was the 6 speed.

I honestly didn't think the GT3 was capable of pulling a C6 like that. I figured it would've been closer at least...

I heard that radar detector going off...

I was about to ask how you could "definitely tell" the Vette was an auto then I saw the button shifters on the wheel.

But that appears to be the 06+ 6spd automatic. That paddle with the + sign on the steering wheel is the shifter.

So you think the C6 would've done better if it was manual, not sequential manual ?

Either way it wouldn't matter, they didn't launch.

If you watch the vid closely, the GT3 jumps a bit on the C6. You see the GT3 nailing it before you hear the engine in the C6.

All said, a GT3 is a touch faster than a C6, but not by that much.
