1.don't really care for the LED tail light shape...no continuity with the lines and rather disruptive wrt aesthetics
2.not sure I agree with your impression of the wing; in fact, it appears the most "boy-racer" of all the GT3 wings IMO
3. are folding GT2 carbon seats really desired in a track base car?
4. i rather think the front upper vent plastic insert on the 997.1 is mor practical wrt cleaning and waxing...not sure why the rear end needed more "heat releasing" vents at the superior edge....just more places for dirt and grime to embed itself
Agree with most of the mechanical advances.
Still, I think they "got the formula right" the first time for the 997.1 and would have rather seen a complete departure for the 997.2 from the current design rather than a modest massage job, and not in the direction of "civility"...save that stuff for the turbo guys...this newer version should have headed in the more raw direction and not try to placate the masses of weekend warriors who want to sport the GT3 badge on their rear end on the way to the wineries.

Great looking aero kit!
I love it that they used Guards Red...my 09 Carrera S is Guards Red and i do not think I could have another color now.

I have heard from my inside Porsche guy that the PDK will be a LONG time coming in the GT3
you might not want to wait it might be a long time.
Turbo 4Ever My inside Porsche contact said an RS version also will be a long time coming to the US.
There probably wont be a 997.2 version, just a rumor.
