Page 6/7 has the engine in action if you want to hear it.
Page 20/21 has the FL 997 driving by.. if you want to hear it.

My God, where do I sign up for that level of review on all the interesting cars?

Frankly, I think that is the most perfect piece of automotive review I've ever seen and heard AND read.

For those wondering if they have more articles on other cars:

..After reading about the 997.2, now I'm really wondering whether to do the Farnbacher Loles update to get my 997 C2S to upgrade it to 393hp, 310 tq... or move to the 997.2.. which would start the $$ depreciation numbers all over again.

I am happy to see that Porsche picked up a "DSG" style transmission

It's cool how they have that beast of an engine caged inside a gyroscope, free to twist and writhe in a futile attempt to escape its confines and wreak havoc on the roads.

I was waiting for the 997.2 to be released so I could get a better price on a used 06 - 08 997 but after reading that I'm not so sure. I think the 997.2 with 6MT & LSD might be the 911 I've been waiting for.
