Default Anyone tested the 2009 Carrera S?

Has anyone seen an actual test of the new 2009 Carrera S in which the acceleration, braking, skidpad, slalom, etc, are tested? If so, would you share?

A contact at Champion told me that some cars have already arrived at the local port, however, they're being held there until the uniform release in Sept.

Correct.

Sent a couple of my guys to PA; I'll get the skinny tomorrow I'm sure. But keep in mind all the cars were of the PDK variant.

Guys came back tonight from PA. Said that PDK was gorgeous. As fast as you can flick the switch; it'll change the gears. Didn't get a chance to use the launch control. Said the new colors look good in the sheet metal. No sight of the C4/C4S variant.









































said Panamera will be 'viewable' at dealerships when they send photo's and booklets this December.
