    A good read, especially about the 2nd gen. PCCB observations.

    Thanks for sharing your find.

    Re: Portugal 997 driving review

    My General Mgr. just came back from Estoril, and said it was
    truly unbelievable ! They went to the F1 track and Porsche said, "Drive the cars, and enjoy yourself. By the way, we will
    timing your second and third laps." Can you imagine all these
    people response to that. It would have been heaven for me; I will tell you. My Mgr. said he was in 5th gear, almost redline
    just before turn 1 ! He also said that he had heard that they had wrecked 8 997's in the course of this debut. Effective,
    but expensive way to debut a truly great Porsche. Revvv

    That definately sounds awesome.
    Hey, 8 broken ones out of 150 is not such a bad number, is it?

    In my eyes, this is definately a car worth to think about..

    Sounds like a lot of them will be going to the breaker's yard, and the rest to the body shop.
