I'm not buying it simply because I don't believe Porsche can deliver DFI and PDK cars this fall. Let's hope I'm wrong.

I wonder why we're still debating this after Christophorus wrote it was coming this Fall.
I didn't see this in Christophorus.

PANORAMA MAGAZINE February 2007 issue, page 63:
Porsche has released some advanced information on 2008 models that may get us all primed for purchase. For starters, the 911 will get direct injection as well as an optional dual-clutch for the manual transmission. The dual-clutch transmission allows for shifts without the need to lift power. The new injection, called DFI, is expected to increase mileage by ten percent. The Carrera S gets a horsepower boost to 370 bhp, up from 355. Designwise, the front end will receive a facelift via a larger intake, and the rear will feature a revised lighting system.

Darius, is that a "I know for sure it's not coming with that"-no or a "God let's hope it will have the old lights"-no?

Guys, quit arguing its already here!
I stopped by a dealer today (for an unrelated issue) and asked if they had any info on the facelift. The salesman asked what I meant. I explained the DFI, facelift and possibly PCM revisions. He said he would swap out to clear turn signals and clear taillights (ricer style) are already an option. Also, he explained the car already has the same kind of injection as Audi which is why its faster.
Boy did that make me feel foolish.
He did volunteer that they're already sold out of 2007RSs but would put me on the list for an '08. (I hadn't even asked about a GT3, let alone an RS.)
I should have bought two on the spot.
p.s. Terracotta looks much better in person than in any web photo I've seen so far.
