[QUOTE=Fanman,Sep 5 2004, 01:28 PM] If you took it on on the street you would probably wind up hitting an SUV with a mom and 3 kids in it because of it's massive blind spots, your leg would cramp up after 5 min. because the clutch pedal stiffness, and you don't even have enough room to carry a tool box (1 cu. ft. of space) let alone real stuff.

I do not know much about Porsches and certainly not this one, but it looks the same as the past four years. Besides a new front air dam what is the difference?

I think many of them commented how light it was because they though it was going to be much heavier to contain the 500+ lb.-ft. of torque, but relitively heavy compared to most cars. Hell, I thought the M3 I was driving recently had a stiff clutch compared to the 8. I guess it is all perspective. Shiferkart, that is the same 996 TT as the last 4 years. The differences are pretty much all internal. The turbo model of the Porsche 911 line usually follow a few years after the regular Carrera models are introduced. So anticipate a new 997 TT around the 06'-07' year, if they do not go to a 998 model sooner. Rumor had it at 460 hp+.

Okay, fair enough. I let you know my thoughts when I get back from driving one.
