997Carrera chassis, 996TT 3.6L bulletproof turbochargeable engine, 997TT turbo's. with VTG technological innovation, good performance specs. like 0-100kph in the 3's, 0-160kph in the 7's, 0-200kph in the 11's....

What I hate about it are the tail lights and the exhausts. I really liked the car judging by the first pictures (the swedish silver beauty), but mumbasic's pictures really put it into perspective. I really like technological innovation and I know the 997 will be the fastest car in its class, but Al, here's a serious question for you, since you own a TTS:
What would I lose by buying a low-mileage 996TT(S), slapping on VTG turbochargers, X73 and a rear LSD? Besides the "dated" looks (which, I must admit, I prefer), what are the disadvantages of the 996TT versus the 997TT?

1. life cycle management
2. market research ... like ... tt-buyers are more into comfort ... so let's save it for the hardcore GT3 guys for a proper distinction e.g segmentation
3. we have seen delayed options with Porsche all the way
... just a few thoughts ... not necessarily the truth

I suspect that it will take at least 2-3 years for the tuners to assemble a good VTG tuning package (either an upgrade of the 997TT or a mod. of a 996TT-and probably longer for the latter) since it's such a new technological application on a gasoline-fed vehicle that would demand peak HP at 500+ and peak torque at 700Nm+.

i bet there will be one tuner offering this technology within one year of the launch of the 997TT

Hallo? Reinhold! Uwe hier! Ich brauche die VTG-Technologie für meine 996 Rennsportwagen! Was meinst du, "ich will diese Technologie erst für Strassenfahrzeuge benutzen"? Bist du Mental?! Man wird keinen 997 Turbos verkaufen wenn du das machst!

Yes, I think that Uwe Alzen will use the 997 Turbo as a basis for his new race cars but it may take a while.
I doubt that the new VTG technology is compatible to the "old" 996 Turbos for various reasons.

"just" a 4% price increase .......................... Now that is great news !! It sure would be nice if they introduced the cab at the same time as the coupe , that would be a beautiful thing .
That's outstanding news.
The 4% figure needs to be interpreted vs what???....996TT base of $116Kish or 996TTS base of $131Kish? 996TTS incls PCCB 2.0; what will 997TT include and how much will PCCB ?3.0 cost? Need more data to interpret this 4% claim.....

What reasons would that be, RC? Anything connected to electronics? Since the engine seems to have remained basically the same, I'm not exactly sure why they would be incompatible, but I'm not an expert on the subject.

When you see the new 997 Turbo engine, you'll understand why it is not possible. Even if the 997 Turbo engine is a 3.6 l engine, almost all parts are different compared to the 996 Turbo engine, including the crankcase. It is still based on the "old" 964/GT1 design though. I would also suggest that you read my post regarding the VTG technology: http://www.rennteam.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=175312&an=0&page=0#175312 . It would require too many changes in hardware and even more in software. Not worth it for tuners. And not worth it for Alzen, it would be cheaper to get the 997 Turbo and modify it.

RC- any idea why no direct injection? I figured that for sure porsche would have this on the 997, but maybe its not applicable/necessary???
