    2009 Porsche 911 Faster Around The 'Ring, Still Not As Fast As The GT-R

    The 2009 Porsche 911 is a touch faster than the 2008 version around the 'Ring, posting a 7:58 in Carrera S trim. This is also faster than a Cadillac CTS-V (barely) but still much slower than the Nissan GT-R dry time of 7:29. That's gotta hurt. Home turf, even. Though we doubt this will dissuade the dentists and accountants who get off on being able to correct their friends. "Porsh-uh, Sally, Porsch-uh."

    I Am Still Pretty Fast Guys

    To make Porsche feel better, many other companies will be racing around the 'Ring, lowering the average times. We're cool with the Audi R8 V10, and the TT-RS is probably pretty quick but... the 2010 9-4x? We're guessing the Porsche is faster than that. [InsideLine]
