    CF,

    Where did you find a spot here in Fl to check this out? Alligator Alley?

    Yep. Had it for 3 hours yesterday. More comments when I'll find some time. Basically, I won't let go my current Stage 3 996 for the new one.



    Stage 3? No need to let go. But performance is close, just imagine what you can do on a 997 Turbo. The only bad thing is: you can't push the 997 Turbo over ~ 310 kph Vmax, unless you're raising the rev limiter and/or install a longer 6th gear. Different wheels would be a possibility too. So for Vmax runs, the 996 Turbo still rules.

    During the summer I'm in Europe.
    I bought one car for Europe and one for the US (US car in Nov/Dec) both Tip of course.

    I certainly won't be doing any high-speed runs in the US.

    I count 13 seconds of overboost and 4200 rpm when the clip ends.

    I went up to 250-260 kph at full boost. At that kind of speed on a small country road, I didn't check the overboost-arrow all the way, sorry...
