Jamo,

The Porsche TT only pulls .92 on the skid pad. (Per Porsche) Four wheel drive does not improve cornering significantly on dry pavement.

It also does not improve braking. However, the TT brakes should be better than the CSX as far as raw stopping power, At least for a couple of laps. After that the higher weight of the TT starts to show itself with overheating of the brakes. This is certainly true at Willow in a stock TT. Three laps and the brakes are toast. (But the ABS is sweet!!!!)

Four wheel drive does help on corner exit as you are able to put the power on earlier and more aggressively.

Now, if it had been wet at LV, the TT would of run away and hid from everyone else. Particularly with treaded street tires.
