A rumor? Not anymore. 997 is official now!
Just got this info from an official source today: the new 911 will be the 997 and first cars go to dealers this summer 2004!
There have been a lot of rumors in the past and a lot of people weren't really sure if the 996 -> 997 change will happen this year but I got it confirmed today.
Now let's not talk about rumors anymore but let's speculate about the power and looks of the 997.
And if you want to have a 997, you definetely should see your dealer now because I already saw the new 911 and it looks great. Some people might not see much difference to the current 996 but there are several differences and they're worth waiting for this car.
So if your dealer wants to sell you an "old" 996, you better wait.
