Porsche 911 (997) facelift and engine upgrade + double clutch

[Carl Lassiter]

40bhp more and dual clutch. Look like the Scuderia won't have it all its own way...

Hot damn. What the ETA on PDK for the TT?

[Dick Fidd]

Wow, I really will need one of those. NA, 125HP/L, 8400 RPMs, <7lbs/hp, 7sp Dual Clutch. Sick. I can't wait to explain it to my wife...

Wow

Porsche just keeps "evolutionizing" their 911's to be better and better. BMW could stand to take a lesson.

Power of the "S" will be well over 400hp with adding their X51 option.

Also, downloadable info from the Chrono to laptop via USB, touch screen as well as button navi and more. Some great additions. Also, the Launch Control releases at 6500 rpm

Will the Turbo have PDK also?

[Dick Fidd]

It is my understanding that only the NA versions will have PDK at the outset - including the 465HP GT3. Supposedly, the turbo is still eating PDK's, but this is all hearsay from other boards, so take with some salt.

Thanks! I was just going to post the same thing. PDK is going to be sweet. Are slush boxes finally dead yet? Too bad the shifter looks too much like a fully automatic (I like the SMG III/M DCT shifter look better).

Gustav, you're way off topic. Can you put yourself o probation please?
