AAHTT:
I have a 430 F1 now along with the manual TT and I still like to row the gears better than flick the paddles. I
Anthony, this comment is quite telling and emphasizes the dilemma of PDK.
Anyway, model year, introduction, production, etc., etc., so confusing!
I wish we could all use the term "showroom ready" instead. At least for the US. What I see so far:
991 C2: showroom ready around September 2011, +/- a few months.
991 Turbo: showroom ready around September 2013, +/- a few months.
Are we all in agreement, more or less?
As far as timing, it appears Conny is on a 3-4 year cycle of changing cars
, and if so, the Turbo S would work out perfectly for him. For those with 6-7 year cycle, a wait for the 991 is a no brainer.
The "problem" with 991 is that from what I could see so far, it's wide and low, more like a true exotic and less like a daily driver, and if so most likely will make our 997 very boxy looking. (But that's just the beauty of owning a 911: 997 may be boxy yes, but will remain as timeless as ever in my eyes. And probably has better road visibility.)
In addition, if PAG engineers ARE lengthening the wheel base and pushing the engine forwards as rumored, then 991 will make 997's chassis obsolete as well. This would be a huge, almost revolutionary change IMHO.
