Thanks again for all the pics and info. Can't wait to see the car in different colors, especially black since that is what I ordered.

I absolutely love the look from the back with the twin hood scoops and vents. Very nice rear end!

No, unfortunately not, it's just UK Tour and Germany of course.

Apparently you guys don't have enough corners

Only joking.

Seriously, Andreas said that the amount of orders coming in from the US is ridiculous and Porsche will give every US order before Christmas a sunroof as a no charge option!!!!!

YOU ARE DOING A TOP JOB...... just got in from the pub and a long day at work, I know I'm sad but I taped the 2 briefings (iPhone 32G S) and got 14 mins of Q & A with Andreas, so how do I find out how to post them??? And vid's ....................... on my Apple Mac hard drive the following:

The Venue

The Car and display cars

The Display Brake System- old and new on a weighing scales to show the difference with the weight saving on show. Steel and PCCB.

The Suspension Springs as above.

PADM cut away model on display. Got to order this!!!!!!

Seat Options.

The wheel system as a cut away model and the special wheel nut, where it's kept AND how it actually works

And lots more,

So, LET ME KNOW,

Will be back tomorrow (it's 12.30am here) just need time but the UK boys are doing the biz

regards

In the meantime, can't you just write what he answered about single mass flywheel? (if you've asked him my questions that is.

Default RMS LEAK: ANSWER!!!

ME:

What about the old thing about the RMS leak. WAS it the seal?

ANDREAS:

That was the common misunderstanding! We investigated this for about a year! It was a pain in the ***! We didn't know what happened it's NOT the seal. it's the vacuum system of the car but now EVERY dealer should know by now that it's the vacuum system of the car. The seal only works when there is vacuum in the engine, the problem arose a lot when people pulled the pipes to get a louder sound on the exhaust!!!

More to follow tomorrow!!

Buttons,
When you mean 'pulled the pipes' are you referring to the gray plug that when disconnected keeps the exhaust valves open all the time? or does it have to do with removing the double chambered side mufflers thus ridding the car of the 'nonsport' mode (ie single vs doubles pipes)?

Great info. Thanks so much and please keep it coming.

I'm particularly interested in the lightweight flywheel question as that's a top-priority mod.
