RC, your comments are not very objective IMO.

They are typical of someone who drives a 997.1 and because he doesn't intend to move to the 997.2 (and rightly, IMO if you consider the arithmetic) is trying to belittle the new model.

Personally, I am very impressed with this model  although I was expecting a bit of visual freshening. Judging from my Carrera S (385 PS), PDK and 500 PS will be faster than a bullet and perhaps as fast as the fancied 458 Italia in real life. I'm expecting the Sport Auto NBR time to make sure that the revised PTM and new PTV do the trick.

As regards this GT1 cult, all good things come to an end one day. There is a new engine now more powerful, less polluting and more frugal and I am sure it will never break in the hands of 99.999% of owners during road and occasional track use. Of course no owner will do the 24 hours of Le Mans twice in a row in order to find out whether the new engine is weak or less durable.
