Re: 997 Turbo pics

Although the 997TT may not be significantly different than the 996TT, I think just the 480hp engine makes it more than desirable than any other exotic cars out there. Furthermore, this 480hp engine is going to hurt the resale value of all current 996TT, TTS, and even the GT2 down the road.

Re: 997 Turbo pics

Kinda funny that they're using pretty much the same camo they used on the 996 TT...

I have heard that 480 is not the real number, but rumours rumours ... I have heard something between 460 and 470 hp. Maybe in fact 480 hp but on paper 467 hp or something, to keep the value of 996 tts and co.

Re: 997 Turbo pics

Heard of it? I wish I hadn't...

I love everything about the 996TT/TS - but I don't think the inlets on the 996 look at all like those on the 987 or the Cayman. OK, OK, maybe I'm the victim of my own obsession - looking at this stuff too often - but I see a world of difference between the two styles.

No offense intended at all RC, but I have not been fond of the new Boxster/Cayman vents - they just look too much like the Toyota MR2 for me.

Too showy. Too flashy. The only time I liked them was in the photo of the white "Cayman RS" I saw here a while back. If I remember, they were more open, without the screening - like those on the present TT/TS (although the were still shaped like a triangle). They look more real, functional, mechanical, and powerful for some reason that way.

And that's the essence of what I love in Porsche - a marriage of powerful, mechanical performance to beauty and grace - with performance being the more important of the two.

Marketing 101: $135Kish, 3600lb-ish 997TT's real-world (not chat board) sales competitor is the $130K, 4200 lb SL55 (not $200K+, 3350 lb 430's)......guys who are weight-conscious and resource-constrained will get a $100K GT3...and those w/few more bucks will get an FXXX/other race car to tool around a track and fulfill race car driver fantasies.....
