Battle of the 997s on Head 2 Head

Head2Head 997 Battle

Episode 3 of TorqueTv's Head2Head puts up cars that both got their start in Zuffenhausen, Germany. It's a classic case of sibling rivalry as a 997 Porsche TWIN Turbo and a Porsche 997 GT3 come to Willow Springs to battle it out. Both cars have been tuned by famed GMG Racing in Orange County, California.

See which Porsche wins as the Crazy Swede, Samuel Hubinette pushes both cars to their limits in this week's episode.

Have you been watching Garage 419?

View VideoBrought to you by Garage419.

I want to see more of this! Start with a Cayman, pop in the 3.8 that Stuttgart should have put there in the first place, you know its going to be a beast. Then the 997...the exhaust system on that 911 GT3 RS is pure art. This is the type of video I love seeing on StreetFire, and hope more shops get with the program and invite shops in to tour their facilities. Thank you Farnbacher Loles for giving a tour! Looking forward to the next episode when Garage419 gets behind the wheel!

Video: Mercedes E55 vs Porsche 997 Turbo

View VideoBy ksingh

Well being a fellow Mercedes E Class owner it was a good feeling to watch this E55 hang with the 997 Turbo. The 996... I mean 997 Turbo comes from the factory with 480HP and does a 0-60 in 3.7 seconds while the Merc comes equipped with 469HP and a 0-60 in about 4.3 seconds. There is something to be said about a sedan with a curb weight of around 4200 lbs that can run alongside a 997 Turbo. So when you're out looking for your next family car, consider the E55.

Can you tell the difference?


Here is a video brought to you by UnitedPictures.

Like many people, I myself found it somewhat difficult to see the difference between the old 996 Porsche and the new 997. I have become accustomed to it over the last couple years and just in time. Porsche recently released the all new GT2.

Take a look at this amazing car both on the track in and in the shop as it pays tribute to its racing counterparts.
