haha true, that's good point, i am sure couple other cars will still own the supercharged 997. but boy, would i take the 997 over them

Not quite at Lexus level, but definitely higher than Chevy Probably the best among the European manufacturers (with the exception of the Cayenne )

yes the gauges look great! i especially love the stiches running all around. it provides an quiet elegance that defines the uniqueness of porsche owners.

holy ****! this pics are simply amazing....to be honest the interior mayb a little worse...but I like the styling of the 996 better for some reason...but damn the 997 is surely growing on me very fast! this thread should be closed lol I am getting very jealous haha. I cant wait to see the turbo version of the new 997...I really hope someday i can get a porsche with a set of HREs!
