Re: 430 vs. 997 Turbo
I guess after the initial letdown when announced (HP, weight), the 997TT just gets the job done with superior traction, transmission and handling in a luxury package for a decent price (especially in the US).
And for the brave, you can get 550hp+ for 3-6K mods, leaving in the dust everything but the 599GT and Murci. You can save 150lbs with seats, PCCB and exhaust, another 50lbs with fancy light wheels.
