Not just face lift,Porsche never just does a face lift.Always inproveing the 911. More H.P.better handling better looking new wheels an updated car.997 will take a big hit in the used car market.A lot of 997 owners. most owned by the bank by the way.They looked down on 996 owners.What comes around goes around.What makes the 911 such a great car is they keap inproveing on it.In 08 look for much more than just sheet metal.

It's one thing to opine about updates, but why do you have to dis other 997 owners?
Isn't life hard enough without BS trash talk like this? If the new car is better, maybe I'll get one, maybe not. But why all this superfluous stuff that is likely mostly not true?
Here, go pull the wings off of flies or something when you're feeling this way...

haha much more than just sheet metal?
So like, a slightly tweaked engine witha few more horsepower? Yeah big change, wooo 6hp! *rolls eyes*
And never does just a cosmetic update? Hello?
here's a 2001 911 and a 2002, you tell me what the difference is.

or better yet here's a 1998 / early 1999 911, and a late 1999 carrera...

But make mine a turbo targa (BTW, I have not heard of plans for this,...I'm just hoping it will happen). Interestingly, I was out at Ira today chatting with Alfie about this very possibility. What I didn't realize was that Porsche did indeed make a turbo targa in 1988,...157 of them.

why the hell did you quote my post then do a waving smiley next to it?
uhhh - right. Look we're friendly towards one another sure, but I'm not going anywhere.
Perhaps you just had nothing intelligent to say back?
