    What's everyone's thoughts on Porsche switching the base 911's to a turbo motor? Be nice. :)

    It's inevitable. Turbo better fills the combustion chamber, and makes the engine more fuel efficient. All car manufacturers have been told to reduce the fuel consumption in their range, and turbo is one solution. There is no escape ...

    Evo had a nice vid review on the new car. The new 911 is faster around the Ring than the 997 GT2. Everyone lamented when porsche went to water cooled, but we still have great cars everone covets. Start of a new era.
