Probably even longer if you would like to order the powerkit again. I hope that the kit will be available within a reasonable period of time after the launch of the TT.
Although I recall Car/Evo recently spreading a rumor that 997TT will come out in 2 iterations, TT and TTS, w/TTS w/greater power and w/lower weight than TT, ala 360CS.....I certainly would buy such a 997TTS.

I have heard similar rumours, but I won't wait. If the S follows I'll swap the TT over then. I wonder if RC can shed any light on this? If I manage to get one of the early 997TTs, I sure hoping the depreciation won't be as excruciatingly steep as the my current 996!

I just heard that the 997 TT comes around 2006 and that it comes in two versions, TT and TT S but maybe not immediately from the start.
TT is rumored to get 460 HP, the TT S around 500 HP.
Forget about a TT S lightweight version, this is BS.
But there might be a 997 GT2 again or even a GT1.
Oh, a 997 TT Cab might be available too pretty fast after 997 TT introduction.
But as always: rumors have to be taken with a grain of salt.

Thanks for the info RC. The 2006 date is in so many places now, its got to be more than a rumour. The rest as you say is speculation.

RC,
What is your take on GT1? Scaled down CGT version or more like GT2 type of car?
Please share your thoughts, it doesnt have to be coming from one of your sources :-)
You guys are really "tough" on me.
I always have a dilemma: when I get valid information, I usually can't post it because it could unveil my source(s), stirring up a lot of trouble. People know that they can trust us, so we don't give too many details. This is the only way how to keep the information flow going.
When I get rumors and speculations without any proof or precise details, I'm hesitating to post this information because I don't want to make myself look like a fool later on.
This is no excuse, just a little sidenote about my daily "dilemma".
The GT1 is rumored to be a car positioned between the current GT2 and the Carrera GT. I don't have any details about the specs. Some rumors indicate a highly modified 997 turbo engine, others a slightly scaled down version of the Carrera GT's V10 engine and again other sources indicate a possible V8 engine. I'd put my money on the V10 but again, I haven't any details yet.
