Carlos, didn't you think that Porsche may want to keep their clients by not DEVALUATING hardly the 996 increasing the power of the 997?

If it gets 350 the basic and 380 the S, it will ruin all the process of the 996. Starting from the GT3 and going through the normal 996 towards 4S and Turbo....! No one will want them because Porsche will have the 997 with much more power. Fortunatly it is not the case. I think they went for the right strategy either than risking to loose a lot of clients who would've find themselfs with unresaleable 996s at a normal price.





I think Capt. Bady has hit the nail on the head. Porsche needs to make the remaining 996s attractive enough to sell without giving them away. At the same time they need the 1st generation buyers to jump at the NEW model immediately.
