7:33 and 1:10...nothing more to add, the king is back.
Apparently Porsche took the criticism regarding the GT3 and Turbo chassis very seriously. I suspect that the improvement(s), mainly in the front axle region, will make it to the GT3 and Turbo too, maybe with the facelift.
I would love to see how a 997 Turbo RUF 550 or another tuned but NOT suspension modded car performs on the Nordschleife. I suspect a time around 7:40 which would still show the huge advantage regarding the GT2 chassis.

BTW, where are now all Horst von Saurma sceptics
Few weeks ago:"von Saurma do not know how to drive 997...","997 Turbo is too much for him..." etc.
So, what are your comments NOW
I was repeating like a Parrot that GT2 resluts in von Saurma hands will be truly amazing...

There is only one "bad" thing about the new 997 Turbo:
the VTG chargers and the very high boost pressure. There is no way to actually increase power on this baby without the need of substantial engine/turbo charger mods. The boost pressure is already very high at 1.4 bar, the current VTG chargers don't really "support" any more pressure.
Meaning: for some people, a tuned 997 Turbo may be the better and cheaper solution, especially for street driving.
