Just test drove the 997s
WOW !!! What a car. 
Just came back from test driving the 997s. Great car... definitely has more torque than the 996 and pulls well in the entire rpm range...handles like its on rails.....and build quality is much better. The transmission is also much improved and the shifting much shorter. The exhaust is a little louder than the 996 but not as loud as the PSE. I did not notice too much difference in the suspension between regular and sport (suspect the real difference will be mostly on the track). I love the interioir and the wheels...much better in person than in pictures. It was beside a 996....very noticeable difference in the stance.
I almost got a ticket :-) Was entering the highway from an off ramp and punched it...was doing around 90mph when the salesman said "COP"...there he was hidden. I suspect he didnt see me in the ramp but definitely heard me. Luckily he was looking at the highway not the ramp for speeders.....i slowed down real quick. He saw me and followed me for a couple of miles..really think he thought he had me
Now cant wait for mine to be delivered...should be in next 2 weeks or so.
