IMO, P engineers are lagging far behind their more industrious counterparts at F/MB....

Where's the ever-delayed PDK???? Will PDK 1.0 be as primitive as F1 1.0 of 10+ yrs ago?...or as inept as PCCB 1.0???

Why can't P engineers come up w/a competent (and profitable)$5K PSE option for 997TT??? Even elder-statesmen cars like 599 and 65 have elegantly intimidating exhaust notes despite inherently smooth V12s and/or biturbos muffling the note...(recall how awful the 575 sounded? F hated to see Tubi capture the profits of aftermkt exhausts....and F clearly solved the issue w/its 599 exhaust note "engineering" )

And will PK still have the awful, confidence-sapping turbo lag? Why do turbo 600/65 motors lack noticeable turbo lag, despite lacking allegedly super-duper VTGs???



imo you are truly missing the Porsche philosophy:

progressive product launches with incremental performance enhances (997TT-->PK-->PDK-->TTS-->GT2-->ETC...)

This is why the performance parameters are "confined" to 30 hp etc... not for mechanical reliability et al. Let's be serious, the PK could easily achieve 50-60hp+ but that wouldn't exactly bode well for the "product line".

With that being said, let's wait for final specs (Kreso/RCish if you will ) before truly getting into the nitty gritty...
