    This guys a "tool" he can't even get the bhp figures of the new cars right and even the old for that matter... 350 bhp up to 370 bhp... ( 355-385 ) as for the PDK i think people are scared of change...out of their comfort zone...

    very good review, apart from the wrong figures of horsepower.

    I found that suspension story very informative !

    off topic, but those sport-design wheels just don't do it for me, wouldn't spec them on a FL 997.

    Yeh - agreed. Front-end set-up change was not something I was aware of.
