Probably to make it harder to retro-fit LED tails to pre-FL cars. I'm sure many owners of the early 997 would uprade the tails -- leading to fewer new car sales. ![ooops](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/icon501.gif)
Not sure if you guys have seen the LED tails working on other cars (E46 M3, AM Vantage, Audi A8, etc). They are really cool how much quicker they go on and off -- and they are bright. Plus all the non-visible benefits (longer life, less energy, etc.).![thumbup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)

One of the things I like the most on the "current" 997 is the design of the mirrors... why change it? am I missing something?...

I can't believe it's not obvious to you guys that at higher speeds, the easier it is to see, the safer the maneuvers of the driver.
A correlation can indeed be made between the size of a car's side mirrors and its top speed.
The smaller its mirrors, the slower its top speed. The larger its mirrors, the faster its top speed.

You mean, why improve them?

Yes, I think the current mirrors provide more than enough visibility.
