Amir may be correct that PAG may go after the SL/AMG market, but... the 997TT is no MB SL, it is a 911 Porsche. Why? it has an engine in the rear and it feels like no other car feels. If one sees and feels the car this way, one is a true 911 fan, otherwise, one is only after the new toy on the block.
Very well said. I don't know why people always complaint, I suppose some owners expect wonders from the car when they should actually start improving their driving skills first.
I'm more than willing to show what the 997 Turbo is capable of, I hope I get the chance this Saturday/Sunday.
And before all this "GT" bragging starts again, the 997 Turbo is almost as fast as a F430/Gallardo with SEMI-SLICKS on a tight track, so guys...cut me a break.
The "problem" with the 997 Turbo is always the fact that it is easy to drive...or better said: it feels easy to drive up to a certain speed. And I doubt that many people are actually experiencing the limit of the 997 Turbo handling, simply because they would either crash the car or they can't do it. I know, I know...everybody drives great and fast but trust me, from what I've seen so far at driving events/meetings: it is one thing to do a nice drift and another thing to drive a clean line and be faster than anybody else. Bottom line: if you think that 100 mph in a country road curve is fast, think again.
Maybe Carlos should explain what it means in Europe to get a thumbs up from motorcycle riders.
