Grant,
Indeed it would be fascinating to see just what the technical solution might look like. I personally think there is a vast difference between an electric pump with a computer algorithm telling my steering wheel which way to move and a hydrolic system being fed real time information to the rim coming right from the road.

I think the future of enthusiast motoring will be conversions like this taking control away from algorithms and back to us. I don't mind stability control and other electronics but this is really going too far. j

I would love to see them come down alittle more.

I drove the 991 S (full option) already a couple of times now, and that is pretty impressive. Bit like the 997 GTS, but the new PDK is seriously better.
Have not drive the new baby on a track, but guess that's the place to really see the handling improvements.

Here what AutoExpress thought to be spy shots and i think it's a very good start

I remember almost everyone saying they would never go to H20 cars. Too big, hate the lights, away from tradition. Now we all have one

A lot of people do not say much good about steering, what is your opinion?
How does it run in 'psm off' mode
, If it has one?
