997
I'm beginning to like it
Looked at the recently posted pics of the 997 today and (to repeat stuff I've said in other posts) I like it. Seems like they tried to do most of the right things (as defined by me, anyway). Headlights, rear fenders, front end treatment. Don't know about the interior. I think I saw one and it had the Cayenne steering wheel. That wheel is fine in the SUV but I don't want it in any 911.
Don't get me wrong, My current fantasy is a used GT-3 in a couple of years. I'm not yearning for a 997. But I think they did OK-better than I thought they were going to do. Perhaps some of the engine problems will be addressed but I think the engine platform is going to 996 based. Perhaps with no rms issues? But still the 996 platorm as opposed to the dry sump config used in the GT-3. etc.
I will be keeping my 993. And hopefully adding a GT-3 in two years or so.
