it really is time for push start though.
other than that, me likey!
a 7 speed stick is a lot of rowing. mind you, for mortal speeds, you'll only need the first 4.

Critics will say: "It looks just like every single Porsche Carrera before)

then

Porsche says in reply: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Anyways
I was thinking (if I really wanted to use all gears)

Shift by 20 km/h so yeah once you reach 100 km/h, you're already in sixth gear. Then the last and final gear would be reserved once I reach the 200 km/h mark



P.S.
I wonder what will be the fastest version of this car will be?

Carrera Turbo 4S? 911 GT2? 911 GT3?

i love the 997
just as i thought it would be time for me to get an used 997, this new 911 looks even better

porsche has great designers, evolving something we all know and familiar with into something even better with every generation
when will i ever get my 911... with the way they look and perform better and better each generation...
