You mean in a good way right? That company prides themselves in making Porsche's sound like F1 racing machines...I would not say it sounds like that but it sounds friggin bad ***!!!

Two completely different sounds at two different points...the 997 is rather quiet down low but get it up in RPM's and everyone knows your there and it has that raspy (LOVE IT) sound...but I will admit that the ISF was one fo the best sounding V8's I ever heard...especially with I/H/E



You know it...not 100% sure yet but definietly exhaust, intake and wheels. Starting to learn the Porsche way and how things work.



They were very understanding as my good friend is the GM and I still own two Lexus so he is fine.



Thanks for the heads up man and yes I am "all over" Rennlist trying to learn as much as I can...I will mention this to the dealer as I need to go pick up my second key today or tomorrow...



Oh you did not go there! Figures you would...I bet you want to race me on the track also...LMAO

As you know performance numbers jump around and all I know is with the AWD this thing handles like it is on rails and launches unlike anything I have ever driven...here are the performance numbers I have found:

HP = 385
Top Speed = 185
0-60 = (per the 0-60 website...and my car has PDK)
Attachment 338118


WOW its fast !!

congrats on the purchase.

thats the same direction i'm looking to go, although Murph is sure making a GTR tempting.

I just can't decide between the 997.1 Turbo or 997.2 C4S
