Not sure they've got the acceleration figures right, but a positive review nevertheless..
"The very latest version of the 3.8-liter flat-six “9A1” engine gets some lower-friction cylinder heads for lung-inhaler help via the cast aluminum enhanced intake system that we really feel as we throttle through the whole rev range in all seven gears. Power and torque delivery are just that much more ready to be called upon in Normal, Sport, or Sport Plus modes. Leave the GTS coupe in Sport Plus and get ready for Launch Control, and acceleration is 4.0 seconds flat to 60 miles per hour, and 9.1 seconds to 100 mph. Monitored testing will undoubtedly get that down to a 3.7-second run to 60, we’re betting."

Just heard from my OPC that my GTS is ready for transportation and to give me the chassis number..
Can't get a definite delivery date as there's a back-log due to the weather....but at least it's on it's way.

Mine is @ The Dealer but i cant have it because there are no Winter tires (with n specs) Around and The Tire factories are closed, and everything is sold out! Now that is really agony! Sat 1 hour in The Car Today and drove it from The Workshop to Dealer Room ( about 50m) Duh.....
Sorry to hear that, thats torture

2011 will start in the best possible way for both of you
Looking forward to your driving impressions.
At my dealer there is a black coupé and a silver cab . The car does look fantastic and the price is so good. With a few options it is exactly the same price I paid for my C2S ( nicely optioned but no PCCB ) 3 years ago . The GTS will certainly keep the best value of the 997 range and be sought after . But then , I recon the C2S will suffer even a bigger hit

well the car looks just terrific! honestly, one of the best looking 997 out there.
Optically quite a good balance between the (spoilered) GT Models and more civil looking C2/4 etc..
just waiting for the winter tires to come, and it is just killing me!
