    It was a joke. You know, a humorous thing that a person says when not meaning it seriously?

    I know that Athens are virtually brand new (you've certainly done a fine job for the Olympics), but wasn't it YOU (or some other member from Greece) that commented on the bad quality of your roads?
    As for expectations, I didn't expect you to buy a Turbo, but you did .

    Errr, it was actually me.. Rwd cars with any decent power are pretty useless if you want to push the car hard as there is no traction to 95% of the roads (new athens ring road excluded). Imo ferraris, GT2 etc are pretty useless unless you a. are a racing driver, b. you intend to drive them like .. a typical ferrari owner.
    997tt is the king for that place and Nick will realize that when he test drives any powerful ferrari..

    Ferrari Challenge Street model

    I am thinking the new GT2 vs the 430 CS, which has around 525 hp and lighter than the normal 430.

    Any thoughts?

    Re: 997 GT2 is coming...more details

    What about LEDs and new headlamps?

    It is a good idea to start that with the flagship and than the other 911s.

    Just like the tail lamp on Enzo then F430.

    Absolutely no chance - the engine will be based on the 997tt lump, the current 997tt configuration is good for 540hp (as demonstrated by RS Tuning)Porsche will just tweak it to ~520hp with the VVT providing the area under the curve to make the GT2 outperform the competion IMHO
