    Thanks Ron,

    Nice article. They were, er, shall we say, "polite" when reviewing the styling changes. I would love to have seen the 997C nose modified for the 997TT, simply changing turn signals and parking lights with the LED lights in the same place as on the 997C, with the foglights integrated therein, plus LED tailights, but I otherwise don't mind the new tail, however I would have squared off the exits for the exhaust, keeping the outlets rectangular if not changed to dual circular. I agree with Excellence on the TechArt strakes and the inserts for the side intakes, a clean 993TTS intake or at least the 996TT intakes without the horizontal strakes would be better. As for the wheels, I still can't stomach them. And if they can pre-boost the PDK but not a manual, I'd go for the former-otherwise, I'm still a cheerleader for the manual. And of course, it's probably hopeless to expect a massive power gain on the S-although I keep waiting to be surprised. But the 911Turbo, in 997 form, will still be a great car, even if we all still nitpick it to death....

    Thanks Ron, nice article. They had a typo on the 0-62 times. They are actually Porsches claimed 0-60 times not 62.
