Daily Telegraph Review

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/main.jhtml?xml=/motoring/2008/07/19/nosplit/mfpor119.xml

This is the first reviewer not to decry the puddles. He found the PDK irresistable despite his normal preference for manuals. (In Reginos's camp).

While we wait or RC's review are there any more of you guys who have actually driven the car who would care to weigh in with their views on the subject?

Re: Daily Telegraph Review

By the way Tony Dron the author of this review, is not a journalist posing as a driver par excellence (I can think of various examples).

In his prime, he was a very well known and successful saloon car racer in the UK.

Re: Daily Telegraph Review

Once I read these words " A side effect has been to raise power by 20bhp in the Carrera and by 30bhp in the Carrera S, making them quicker than before. The performance of the new Carrera on an unrestricted autobahn is devastating" I stopped reading. Credibility zero.

My 1999 911 had 290hp and 10 years later it is up to an epic 340 and performance is devastating? Does this guy live in a cave?

I have a dream that one day crooked Porsche will become straight.

I have a dream of progressing in life and be able to move up to a yellow Ferrari spyder myself and feel like I am in a Busta Rhymes video.

I have a dream that others see the light and be like him.

Re: Daily Telegraph Review

yeah...what an awful mistake...

probably they ran out of storage on the camera and put cayman shots. I wouldn't like to take the guess of printing some press release shots and babling about the online information
