    997 in "Auto, Motor und Sport" magazine

    There is an article on the 997S in the latest issue giving a first impression. It says that Walter Röhrl did the Nordschleife at Nürburgring ... 20 Sec. faster compared to a ride in a basic 996 ?!?! It was not clear what suspension was used ... PASM or -20mm ??? But he didn't ride the car really hard to it's limit when doing that lap ... he was qouted.

    Have you ever known Walter Rohrl to acknowledge that was the best he can do in a Porsche?

    Re: 997 in "Auto, Motor und Sport" magazine

    can you scan or retype the article. there are many U.S. fans awaiting 1st driving impressions.

    Help !!!

    Re: 997 in "Auto, Motor und Sport" magazine

    @ nberry

    he simply said that he did not push it really hard ... not even talking about trying to set a best lap

    But ... although i can't tell anything regarding Ferrari ... 'cause i never experienced one ... one thing is for sure ... the Carreras seems to be a real bargain compared to a competitive Ferrari model ... and i think that's a great effort ... i don't have a problem with a less exclusive and flashy expression ... everytime i see a Porsche, i get that warm feeling full of respect for the specific model and its history ... regardless whether it is a 914 ... the transaxles ... a 356 ... 911's ... or Boxster ...

    But maybe you have similar senses for Ferraris ... or is it not all about cars in your case ??? I would be deeply disappointed if it's just about ego-boosting accessoires ... hoping the best for you ...

    It's very simple, one of MASTERS in history of piloting: Mr. Rhörl (just take a look to his "Curriculum Vitae"....I still wonder how he managed to beat Stig Blomsqvist and his Audi Quattro.....a very, very clever man), with the best "basic" Carrera ever(of course, the 997S).

    I'd love to see the laptimes (even driven my beloved Shummi against Mr. Walter) with a 360 in Nordschleife (as I have said in other posts: almost any imaginable condition). You have to be very, very good under a very competitive "machine" to do such lap times as the Master Rhörl does
