Latest issue of Autoweek sings the praise of the 997TT
Some highlights
1. Tip is faster than manual becuae of improvements made to the tip's hydraulics allowing for brake torquing on takeoff, letting the turbos spool up and deliver full boost pressure immediately.
2. Tip is faster in passing because gearing in the Tip is such that the turbos maintain full boost pressure throughout the rev range rather than dropping off slightly at shift points.
3.The 997 TT at the the Ring time with the optional sport tires and Porsche Traction Management activated was 7 min. 42 sec.
4.The overboost function raises the turbo pressure almost 3psi and is available for 10-sec. burst.
5. The rear split wing is 23% larger than the 996TT and the underfloor cover measures 97% larger than the 996 which gives it a virtual flat underbody.
6. The997TT Cab will be out at the end of the year.
To quote the writer;
".....The turbo as King of the road. While not an official title...the Turbo has retained its status in the face of all comers. Viper? Too Vulgar. Ferrari? Too prissy. Corvette? Too blue collar. Lamborgini? Too, well, irrelevant. Or so believe the faithful.
The also had a good article on the GT3 and claim there is a 997 Targa in the works.

....punchdrunk, staggering- swinging halfassedly in any direction...caricature of yourself. (sniff) oh the humanity.. sad thing to witness, really.
