I don't recall seeing similar 'gripes' or "I've got a lot of problems with you people" threads when the 997 was three to four years old ?

Rainier, the Italian beauty may at times surprise you with her passion and fire, but she is more likely to infuriate, exhaust and frustrate you for weeks at a time.
The German hotty meanwhile will consistently and reliably delight with her uncomplicated willingness to please and perform. She'll get hot for you every day of the week, and can carry your kids and the shopping.

That weird mine works like any other car. I only see 194f all the time when driving on sport plus.

Mine goes higher all the time. Maybe because I live in Florida.
2- Annoying buzz when shifting the car at around 3K RPM. Porsche says its "normal" however based on the feedback I have had and not hearing it from others, it has to be something on my car that is loose or not seated properly (heat shield, wing, rear bonnet). I can drive "around" this issue, but it just drives me crazy when it does it.

This metallic vibration sound at 3,250 RPM has been complained about by quite a few drivers, including myself. Several of us are working on isolating it. As soon as my car goes in for an oil change and brake fluid flush in the spring. I am going to try and have my specialty shop isolate it. I am leaning the left heat shield vibrating as the culprit ( as viewed from the front of the car).
Interesting, I don't have a stock PCNA exhaust or stock tailpipes. I will try it and see.

I've always felt the pronounced delay in deceleration once you lift off the throttle to be unacceptable and borderline dangerous. In normal mode (7MT) it takes almost a full second for any deceleration to begin upon coming off the throttle. I've read somewhere that this is due to emissions compliance (preventing unburned fuel from entering the exhaust), but where do you draw the line? When I rapidly lift off the throttle, I fully expect deceleration to begin immediately, not after the computer decides it has fulfilled it's emissions duties.

I have a PDK but I've never noticed any delay in rpm dropping... It sounds like you may have a problem that needs to be looked at....

No, I really meant deceleration, but you're correct in that there's not going to be any deceleration unless the rpm drops.
