997 heights
The height of the car is important to me, firstly because the lower, the better looking but also because, it usually goes with a sport setting (and hence better handling).
Now the standard 997 Carrera is 131 cm (which makes it slightly higher than the standard 996 BTW)
With PASM, it's 130 cm (997S then)
Porsche says that the sport suspension lowers the car by 20 mm, is that compared to the PASM option or the standard option?
If it's the latter, which I think it is, that would mean, that the car is still 129 cm high. Which is just 5 mm lower than the standard 996 in fact.
996 with 30 mm sport suspension had the same height as the GT3 ie. 127.5 cm and you could really see it.
I find 129 cm high for the sportiest setting a tad disappointing.
I know I'm picky, but to me, part of what makes the GT3 so good looking is the fact it seats so low.
