5th Gear Review

This car has some amazing tech. It even has an 10 sec overboost function which gives you that little bit of kick. Interestingly enough the 2007 S has an overboost function........Well off to Monterey

In fact, the GT3 comes with a sunroof which really irritates some ppl

The real thing will be the GT2 coming out next in the 997 cycle

(if you got 200 large to drop!)

sorry i dont read forums to make a decision on cars

Saw my first 997 Turbo in person today and was not impressed, moreover my expectations for visual appeal beforehand were honestly quite low. The front bumper is much too busy and perhaps most frustating is the loss of the "turbo twist" wheel design. Long since a hallmark of the car! Before leaving the track I saw a white 997 Turbo start up and it created a huge cloud of smoke!

I saw a new one in San Diego here, great looking car. R&T gave it high marks as well. Got to love Porsche, great bang for the buck compared to others.
