RC could you post the german version on the german porsche board? Even outside Germany there are people who read German as easily as English.

The oil pressure (or is it the oil level?) gauge is on the very right side, and if I remember correctly it was on the facelifted 996 already, wasn't it? Not sure about that!

Why not?
If he's in control, then it's ok.
I guess the primary thing is make sure there's no one in front.
And who knows, it's not him who took the pic?

Did you find any difficulties reaching 290 with the 997???!!. Was that your top speed or you think the 997 could go bit more??!!( just asking RC !!!)

And a last point regarding high speed driving: there is nothing special in doing that. I know it looks cool but to be honest: almost anybody could do it with a little bit high speed experience. The real challenge is to drive that speed or slightly lower speeds in curves and an even bigger challenge is do drive on the track through twists and turns, this is where the fun is.

RC, I am a bit surprised by you driving this poor 997 S with
147 Kilos on it at close to red-line, with "Green" tires and brakes, and not even close to being broken in. Is that the
oil temp @ 120 F. ? Is that normal Temp. ? I'm not saying
I'm not envious, mind you. Tell us more, when you can.

Christian, I think what you need to realise is that you've been doing this for a very long time. High speed driving is second nature to you. But what I worry about is the person without a lot of experience. Let's not make it sound like it is "nothing" for those who haven't really done it yet. Like everything in driving you do need to work at it and be careful.

The oil temperature is that high because I did 290 (and slightly more... ) for about 10 minutes.

Does anyone know if in the navigation system of the 997, you can play DVD's???.
I've read that in two spanish car magazines: Automovil and Car and Driver Spain.
Thanks in advice, it would be absolutely amazing if dvd's can be played with the navigation system!!!!!

How are you doing on the English version of your 997 Driving Report? I am hanging on the edge of my chair waiting to see it.
