Agree with this, and THANKS for sharing this... Clearly must have taken some time.

Fantastic work! Yes, would love to see the .1 reviews as well. Maybe keep it separate as others have mentioned.

Should I update this post to merge in both .1 and .2 reviews? Though it'd be the weekend before I could actually do this. Also need to think about how to actually do it cleanly in the original post...

Anyone notice how the 997.2 GTS acceleration times aren't any quicker than the standard 997.2 S?

(don't mean to start any controversy... I love the GTS )
