I've heard that the 3.6L is a better engine than the 3.8L and one of the reasons is becuase it has a better dry sump or s true dry sump. Also the new turbo is using the 3.6L and not the 3,8L which I assumed would be in the new turbo. Any comments would be appreciated. When I get my 911, horsepower is not the only factor.

The 996 and 997 TT cars have essentially an updated 964, and 993 engine which was originally air-cooled. It's still a different breed than the mass-market 996 and 997 Carrera engines.

Since the new gt3 will also be of that breed, what is the big deal? Is the new engine not as good??
