Thanks.

I read the comments before I bought the 997 book, and I'd buy it again even with alleged errors.
Often there are several brake systems available for a singe model. Not something I'd lose sleep over.

I will hand it to Streather for his criticism of Porsche for their refusing to find a solution for the infamous sealed IMS bearings, for ten years.
This is a guy who works with the company constantly. They would never give him any idea on how much damage it caused the brand or pain it caused customers.
