If anyone hasn't read the article in Excellence magazine, it is a pretty big eye opener in terms of the advances made on the 997TT.
The new model absolutely fried the 996 version at Porsche's test track.
In addition to that, the Nurburgring times for the 997TT are 7:49 with the standard rubber and when tested with Michelin Sport Cup Pilot's it was 7:42 (faster than Rohrl's time in the 996 GT3 RS and .06 off his time in the CGT)Tiptronic 0-62 in 3.7 seconds (manual 3.9). CGT type numbers.
DSG gearbox is still months away.
133 bhp per liter with 126 lb-ft torque per liter (139 lb-ft in over boost) available to all 4 wheels with a 100 millisecond power transfer. Full torque available at 2100 rpm. Driver comments on the new model version's ability to literally slam and pin you in the seat from a dead start at full throttle.
Sounds like whatever they were doing up there in Stuttgart the past few years produced a very scary car.

they also have a quasi SH-AWD, the electromagnetic clutch for its AWD system controls the power delivered to the back wheels, but its not to the extent of the RLs where theres one clutch controls each of the rear wheels

From the MT Review:
2007 Porsche 911 Turbo
as tested by Motor Trend with an AUTOMATIC transmission (which can supposedly snap off shifts faster than the 6-speed):
0-60: 3.2 seconds
1/4mi: 11.4sec@120.5mph
Base Price: $122,900
...and it'll rumble about politely in the snow with your two kids strapped safely in the back.
