992 TTS weighs 3636lbs curb. 640Hp. But more tq. BETTER AWD with more power to the front wheels.
The AWD factor will be interesting. The Taycan I spent time with pulled HARD from the front even though apples/oranges. Flat feeling pull.
I still say the 992TTS will hit 10.2 at 136ish. But the AWD / torque factors are wildcards that could move those numbers a bit.

I think that is solid logic.
Some additional thoughts:
- car is much more slippery than a GT2RS which always astounded me how hard it pulled despite extremely high levels of downforce
- my guess is, the 89 hp increase ends up being very conservative (likely to see 89 more WHP over a 991.2TTS) not only to not step on the 2RS but to leave room as Porsche holds back more than anyone on car capabilities
- gearing should be better as it is a good bit shorter in the new 8 speed PDK
*on top of that it is more efficient overall; vane pump to volume flow has 77% lower losses and aux pump has 37% lower losses
- is also venture to say its slightly lighter in US spec. The 992S cabrio weighed in from R&T at 3537
The 992S has 444 hp and runs 11.1/11.2...can only imagine what another 200 Porsche hp is going to do.
