Ok...the Porsche mix between power/weight/performance is better than others but:

Last year Gallardo get 500HP,two years ago SL gets 500 HP,this year F430 get 500HP(495 )..and the 997 Turbo will arrive not before one/two years,with only 480 HP??
I think is a jump down from a bridge with no water under..

IF the 997 Turbo has only 460 HP and has a price tag like the 996 Turbo S and the 997 Turbo S has 480HP and has a price tag of over 150.000 Euro will be difficult to make a good battle with Gallardo/F430/etc..

A well accesoried F430 costs between 155 and 160.000 Euro..a well accesoried 996 Turbo now costs not under 155.000 Euro..

Now..where will arrive a good accessoired 997 Turbo?? near 160.000 or 165.000??
If the price is under/near a F430 maybe also with a little less power people take the Porsche..but if the price is the same and the power is low,only for the exclusivity factor i think will be better a F430...
And also i think that have 500hp on the paper is a good thing for minds too...

Where we whant to go??
Now a good 997 S is near 110.000 Euro....

I think the new 997 Gt3 with "only" 395 HP will be near 110.000 Euro...with no options...
A good optioned GT3 will be near 120.000 Euro..

Porsche price are running to much for me..and power is running to slow..
